Q4 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (24 Feb Shift 2) · Chemistry
In polymer Buna- stands for:
- AStrength
- BSulphur
- CSulphonation
- Correct answerDStyrene
Solution
Buna--, 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:

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'.
