Q4 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (24 Feb Shift 2) · Chemistry

In polymer Buna-S:'S' stands for:

  • A
    Strength
  • B
    Sulphur
  • C
    Sulphonation
  • Correct answer
    D
    Styrene

Solution

Buna--S, 'S' stand for styrene.

Buna – S is a more commonly used name for a polymer named styrene butadiene rubber. The structure of Buna – S is given by:

Figure

Buna – S is formed using the monomers butadiene and styrene.

Thus in Buna – S, the Bu stands for Butadiene, since butadiene is one of the constituent monomers of the given polymer. Also, Na stands for sodium and S represents the monomer Styrene used for the synthesis of the given polymer.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
