Question
How are polythene and neoprene prepared?
Advertisements
Solution
The antibiotic which is effective against a wide range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria known as broad spectrum antibiotic.
Preparating polyethene : The monomer used is ethene. It is an addition polymer. It is of two types.
\[\ce{n CH2 = CH2 ->[Δ] [-CH2 - CH2-]_n}\]
Preparating of Neoprne : The monomer used is chloroprene (2-chlorobuta-1,3-diene). It is superior to natural rubber and resistant to chemical action. It is used in the manufacture of chemical containers , conveyor belts, gaskets etc.
