PVC is prepared by the polymerisation of:
PVC is prepared by the polymerisation of:
- A. ethylene
- B. 1-chloropropene
- C. propene
- D. 1-chloroethene
Step-by-step solution
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is an addition polymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride, which is also known as 1-chloroethene (H2C=CHCl). The other options yield different polymers: ethylene gives polyethylene, 1-chloropropene gives poly(1-chloropropene), and propene gives polypropylene.
