[NH(CH2)NHCO(CH2)4CO]n

  • co-polymer

  • addition polymer

  • thermosetting polymer

  • homopolymer

Solution

A.

co-polymer

-[NH(CH)2NHCO(CH2)4CO]n- is a copolymer because polymers whose repeating structural units are derived from two or more types of monomer units are called copolymer.

Question
CBSEENCH12011040

Natural rubber has

  • All trans-configuration

  • Alternate cis and trans configuration

  • Random cis and trans configuration

  • All cis configuration

Solution

D.

All cis configuration

The repeating unit in natural rubber has the cis-configurations with chain extensions on the same side of the ethylene double bond, which is essential for elasticity. If the configuration is trans, the polymer is hard plastic.

All cis-configuration.
