The monomer of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) is?
Show Hint
- Ethylene dichloride
- Ethylene chloride
- Chloroform
- Chloro ethene
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- Ethylene dichloride is not the monomer for PVC, but it is used in the production of vinyl chloride.
- Ethylene chloride is also not the correct monomer for PVC.
- Chloroform is an organic compound, but it is not used as a monomer for PVC.
Thus, the correct answer is Chloro ethene (vinyl chloride).

The crystallization of a polymer can only proceed in a temperature range limited to glass transition temperature (\(T_g\)) on the lower side, and the equilibrium melting point (\(T_m^0\)) on the higher side. Around \(T_g\), the mobility of the polymer chains is lower, while in the proximity of \(T_m^0\), crystal nucleation is inhibited.
