Which is fully fluorinated polymer?

Which is fully fluorinated polymer?

  • A. Neoprene
  • B. Teflon
  • C. Thiokol
  • D. PVC

Step-by-step solution

Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE) is a fully fluorinated polymer where all hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine in its carbon backbone. Neoprene contains chlorine and hydrogen, Thiokol contains sulfur and hydrogen, and PVC contains chlorine and hydrogen, so none are fully fluorinated.
