A

tetrafluoroethylene

B

tetrabromoethylene

C

tetraiodoethylene

D

tetrachloroethylene .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Teflon is polytetrafluoro ethylene and it is prepared from tetrafluoro ethylene by heating under pressure in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulphate .
` nCF_(2)=CF_(2) underset(" high pressure") overset((NH_(4))_(2)S_(2)O_(8))to(CF_(2)-CF_(2))_(n)`
It is chemically inert and heat resistant polymer .
