Question

Teflon is a polymer of

• A. tetrafluoroethylene
• B. tetrabromoethylene
• C. tetraiodoethylene
• D. tetrachloroethylene

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Teflon is polytetrafluoro ethylene and it is prepared from tatrafluoro ethylene by heating under pressure in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulphate. $n CF _{2}= CF _{2} \frac{\left( NH _{4}\right)_{2} S _{2} O _{8}}{\text { high pressure }}\left( CF _{2}- CF _{2}\right)_{n}$ It is chemically inert and heat resistant polymer:

Answer 2

Tetrafluoroethylene (nCF₂=CF₂) may be polymerized to create Teflon.Polymerisation[−CF₂−CF₂−]n
When relatively tiny molecules called monomers unite chemically to form long chains like a network molecule called a polymer, the process is known as polymerization. Tetrafluoroethylene is the monomer unit employed in this instance.
Teflon is a hydrophobic fluorocarbon solid with a high molecular weight compound made of fluorine and carbon.
One of the lowest coefficients of friction of any substance is found in Teflon.
It is not reactive because of the strength of the carbon-fluorine link and because it cannot be used in pipes and containers for corrosive substances.
Its primary uses in industry are brushes, sliding plates, seals, gears, and simple bearings. Teflon is therefore made of polytetrafluoroethylene, a fluorocarbon that is non-reactive due to the strength of its C–F bonds.
Since Teflon, a substance resistant to heat, is coated in black on non-stick frying pans, Option A is the best choice. A tetrafluoroethylene polymer is teflon.
