The synthetic fibre orlon is prepared by the polymerization of:
The synthetic fibre orlon is prepared by the polymerization of:
- A. chloroethene
- B. propene
- C. propenenitrile
- D. 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene
Step-by-step solution
Orlon is a synthetic fibre made from polyacrylonitrile, which is produced by the polymerization of acrylonitrile (propenenitrile). The other monomers listed correspond to different polymers: chloroethene gives polyvinyl chloride, propene gives polypropylene, and 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene gives neoprene.
