Chemistry - Polymer Question with Solution | TestHub

This problem contains conceptual mixing of molecular structure determination and polymerisation of identified monomer. To solve this problem students are advised to follow following steps.

$•$Calculate the value of degree of unsaturation.

$•$Draw the possible structures.

$•$Choose the correct structure among all possible structures.

$•$Then, complete chemical reaction according to given information.

Determination of molecular structure of${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}\text{Cl}$

Degree of unsaturation$=\left(4+1\right)-\frac{6}{2}=5-3=2$

Since this molecule does not contain any ring or triple bond hence it must be a diene.



A is chloroprene when it undergoes polymerisation it produces duprene also konwn as neoprene.



Chloroprene may undergo polymerisation via two moles either free radical polymerisation and Ziegler natta polymerisation.
