The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement regarding natural rubber is incorrect, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement**: It is cis polyisoprene. **Analysis**: Natural rubber is primarily composed of polyisoprene, which is indeed in the cis configuration. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement**: It is amorphous in nature. **Analysis**: Natural rubber does exhibit amorphous characteristics in its unstrained state. However, when stretched, it can exhibit crystalline properties. Thus, this statement is **correct** as it can be considered amorphous in its natural state. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement**: It has syndiotactic stereochemistry. **Analysis**: Natural rubber has isotactic stereochemistry, not syndiotactic. Syndiotactic refers to a specific arrangement of the polymer chains that is not present in natural rubber. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 **Statement**: Molecules of rubber have coiled conformation. **Analysis**: The long polymer chains in rubber do tend to coil due to their flexible nature. This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Option 1: Correct - Option 2: Correct - Option 3: Incorrect - Option 4: Correct Thus, the incorrect statement regarding natural rubber is **Option 3**, which states that it has syndiotactic stereochemistry.

What is incorrect regarding cis -1,3- -diborano-trans- 2 , 4 -dichlorocyclobutane?

In vulcanized rubber, the cis-1,4-polyisoprene chains are attached through___.

A large numberof monomers (Simple molecules) combine together to form a larger molecule ( macro molecule) called as polymer. Each polymer is made up of a repeating structural unit. A polymer is said to be homopolymer if the structural unit is derived from one type of monomer molecules. if the repeating structural unit of a polymer is derived from more than one different types of monomers, the polymer is said to a copolymer. The homopolymers as well as copolymers may be formed by addition or condensation reactions. Alekenes and dienes polymerize by additions (Chain growth) mechanism involving carbocations, carbanions or free radical intermeidates. Dienes (Chloroprene) polymerise by 1, 4 addition mechanism to give cis or trans polymers. Natural rubber is, however, cis-polyisoprene. Natural rubber is quite soft and tacky but these properties can be improved by a process called vulcanization. In contrast, bifunctional monomer molecules undergo condensation or step-growth polymerization. Polymers which can be heated and reshpaed as many times as desired are called thermoplastics (polyethene, polystyrene, PVC, teflon etc). While those which can be heated onoy once to give a particular shape are called thermosetting polymers (bakelite, melmac etc.) Teflon, polystyrene and neoprene are all:
