A polymer ‘A’ is formed by the polymerization of monomer B. Monomer B is formed by the pyrolysis of monochlorodifluoromethane in contact with platinum at 700 ᵒC. Monomer is a highly crystalline polymer with excellent insulation properties. What is the name of monomer B? Correct Answer tetrafluoroethylene

The monomer B is tetrafluoroethylene which polymerizes to give polytetrafluoroethylene which is a highly crystalline polymer with outstanding insulation properties and chemical inertness. Tetrafluoroethylene is formed by the pyrolysis of monochlorodifluoromethane in contact with platinum at 700 ᵒC. 2CHClF2 → CF2═CF2 + 2HCl.
