Question

Which among the following monomers is used to prepare Teflon?

Options

• \[\begin{array}{cc}
  \phantom{........}\ce{CH3}\\
  \phantom{......}|\\
  \ce{CH2 = CH}\\
  \phantom{......}|\\
  \phantom{........}\ce{CH3}
  \end{array}\]

• CF₂ = CF₂

• CH₂ = CH – Cl

• CH₃ – CH = CH₂

Answer 1

CF₂ = CF₂

Explanation:

\[\ce{\underset{Tetrafluoroethene}{{n} CF2 = CF2} ->[Catalyst][High Pressure] \underset{Teflon}{[- CF2 - CF2 -]_{{n}}}}\]
