MCQ
Which of the following is incorrect regarding natural rubber?
- AIt is cis$-$polyisoprene
- BIt is amorphous in nature
- ✓It has syndiotactic stereochemistry
- DMolecules of rubber have coiled conformation
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
It has syndiotactic stereochemistry
Rubber has isotactic stereochemistry, not syndiotactic.
Tacticity refers to the orderliness of succession of configurational repeating units in the main chain of a macromolecule.
This is an application of stereochemistry as it concerns the spatial arrangement of substituent groups.
