Among the following, the correct statement(s) about polymers is/are: [JEE Advanced 2022, Paper-2]
aThe polymerization of chloroprene gives natural rubber.
bTeflon is prepared from tetrafluoroethene by heating it with a persulphate catalyst at high pressures.
cPVC are thermoplastic polymers.
dEthene at 350-570 K temperature and 1000-2000 atm pressure in the presence of a peroxide initiator yields high-density polythene.
✓ Correct answer: b) Teflon is prepared from tetrafluoroethene by heating it with a persulphate catalyst at high pressures.
ExplanationThe correct statements about polymers are B and C. A. The polymerization of chloroprene gives natural rubber.This statement is incorrect.Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene (2- methyl-1,3-butadiene).The polymerization of chloroprene (2- chloro-1,3-butadiene) yields neoprene, which is a synthetic rubber.B. Teflon is prepared from tetrafluoroethene by heating it with a persulphate catalyst at high pressures.This statement is correct.Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) is indeed manufactured by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethene (CF2C ) using a free radical initiator, such as a persulphate catalyst (e.g., ammonium persulphate), under high pressure.C. PVC are thermoplastic polymers.This statement is correct.Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer, meaning it can be softened upon heating and hardened upon cooling repeatedly without significant chemical
