Question

Which is the monomer of Neoprene in the following ?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

 To determine the monomer of Neoprene, we must first understand what Neoprene is and what it is made from.

Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber that is produced through the polymerization of chloroprene. Chloroprene is the monomer that undergoes polymerization to form Neoprene.

Let's examine the options provided to identify which structure corresponds to chloroprene, the actual monomer of Neoprene:

1.  
2.  

This structure represents chloroprene, which has the chemical formula C₄H₅Cl. This compound is recognized by its vinyl (C=C) group and a chlorine atom attached to the alkene chain.

1.  

Based on the chemical structure, Option C (

) is the correct choice because it represents chloroprene, the monomer used in the production of Neoprene.

 

Therefore, the monomer of Neoprene is chloroprene, as represented by Option C.
