The monomers of buna-S rubber are

  • A
    vinyl chloride and sulphur
  • B
    butadiene
  • Correct answer
    C
    styrene and butadiene
  • D
    isoprene and butadiene

Solution

Buna-S rubber is also called SBR styrene -butadiene rubber. It is a copolymer of $75 \%$ butadiene $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)$ and $25 \%$ styrene $\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}\right)$.
