Which of the following statement is true?
Correct answer: A. Natural rubber is a hydrocarbon
- A. Natural rubber is a hydrocarbon
- B. Natural rubber is isoprene
- C. Natural rubber is a polymer of 1,3-Butadiene
- D. Natural rubber can be vulcanized
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'Natural rubber is a hydrocarbon'. Natural rubber is composed of polyisoprene, which is a hydrocarbon. Option B is incorrect as natural rubber is not isoprene itself but a polymer of isoprene. Option C is incorrect because natural rubber is not a polymer of 1,3-Butadiene; it is a polymer of isoprene. Option D is incorrect as vulcanization is a well-known process for improving the properties of natural rubber by creating cross-links between the polymer chains.
