Worked practice questions

Natural rubber is a polymer of:

  1. Ethene
  2. Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene)
  3. Vinyl chloride
  4. Styrene
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene)

Natural rubber = cis-1,4-polyisoprene. **Monomer:** isoprene (CH₂=C(CH₃)-CH=CH₂). Cis configuration around the double bond gives elasticity. Gutta-percha is trans isomer (hard, not elastic).

As per your syllabus, + Fig 9.1, the H-C-H bond angle in methane and the carbon hybridisation are which?

  1. 180° and sp
  2. 109.5° and sp³
  3. 104.5° and sp³
  4. 120° and sp²
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 109.5° and sp³

Your syllabus: methane has tetrahedral geometry, sp³ carbon, all H-C-H bond angles 109.5°.

As per your syllabus, the rate of substitution of HYDROGENS in alkane halogenation goes in which order (by carbon class)?

  1. 2° > 3° > 1°
  2. 1° > 2° > 3°
  3. All equal
  4. 3° > 2° > 1°
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 3° > 2° > 1°

Your syllabus: 3° > 2° > 1° (matches free-radical stability — tertiary radical is most stable).
