    The monomer of teflon is:

    A)  tetra chloroethylene

    B)  tetra bromoethylene

    C)  tetra iodoethylene

    D)  tetra fluoroethylene

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Teflon is polytetrafluorine ethene (PTFE) is a -- polymer of tetrafluoro ethene \[(C{{F}_{2}}=C{{F}_{2}})\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Tetrafluoro \\  ethylene \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{nC{{F}_{2}}=C{{F}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[\Delta ,pressure]{{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{8}}}\underset{Teflon}{\mathop{-{{[C{{F}_{2}}-C{{F}_{2}}]}_{n}}-}}\,\] It is used in coating utensils to make them non sticking, making seals, gaskets which can with- stand high pressure, insulations for high frequency electrical installations.
