    Natural rubber is a polymer of

    A)  styrene

    B)  chloroprene

    C)  \[C{{H}_{2}}=\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-CH=C{{H}_{2}}\] or isoprene

    D)  1, 3-butadiene

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The commercial natural -rubber is obtained from the tree Hevea brasiliensis. Natural rubber is found to be a polymer of cis-isoprene.                 \[C{{H}_{2}}=\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,CH=C{{H}_{2}}\] Hence, it is a polymer of cis-isoprene.
