The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the polymer that is resistant to heat and chemical attack and is used for coating articles and cookware to make them non-sticky, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics of the Polymer**: - The polymer is resistant to heat and chemical attack. - It is used for coating cookware to make them non-sticky. 2. **Recall Common Polymers Used in Cookware**: - One well-known polymer that fits these characteristics is Teflon. 3. **Determine the Monomer of Teflon**: - Teflon is the commercial name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). - The monomer used to produce Teflon is tetrafluoroethylene. 4. **Chemical Structure of the Monomer**: - Tetrafluoroethylene has the chemical formula C2F4, which consists of two carbon atoms and four fluorine atoms. - Its structure can be represented as: \[ \text{CF}_2= \text{CF}_2 \] - This indicates a double bond between the two carbon atoms. 5. **Polymerization Process**: - When tetrafluoroethylene undergoes polymerization, it forms long chains of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), which exhibits the desired properties of heat resistance and non-stickiness. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the monomer of the polymer used for non-sticky cookware (Teflon) is tetrafluoroethylene. ### Final Answer: The monomer of the polymer is **Tetrafluoroethylene**.
