Neoprene which is used for making shoe heels & belts is superior to natural rubber in its stability to aerial oxidation and resistance to oils & other solvents. The monomer used for making neoprene is_________________?

Correct answer: B. Chloroprene

  • A. Chloroethane
  • B. Chloroprene
  • C. Isoprene
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Neoprene is formed by polymerising chloroprene, chemically 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene. Isoprene instead forms natural-rubber-like polyisoprene, so it is not the monomer of neoprene.
