Q. Teflon is a polymer of

AIIMSAIIMS 2002Polymers

Solution:

Teflon is polytetrafluoro ethylene and it is prepared from tatrafluoro ethylene by heating under pressure in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulphate.

$n CF _{2}= CF _{2} \frac{\left( NH _{4}\right)_{2} S _{2} O _{8}}{\text { high pressure }}\left( CF _{2}- CF _{2}\right)_{n}$

It is chemically inert and heat resistant polymer:
