    Which of the following is true regarding teflon?

    A)  It is a linear, unbranched polymer of tetrafluoro ethylene

    B)  It has very high thermal stability

    C)  Polymer molecules are associated by strong dipole-dipole attraction

    D)  All of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Due to symmetry of\[{{F}_{2}}C=C{{F}_{2}}\]and strength of \[C-F\]bond, branching does not take place and a linear chain teflon is always formed. High bond energy of\[C-F\]bond gives high thermal stability to polymer. Large electronegativity difference of C and F makes\[C-F\]bond highly polar.
