$CF_2=CF_2$ is monomer of :
A
Teflon
B
Orlon
C
Polythene
D
Nylon-6
Detailed Solution
Tetrafluoroethylene, $CF_2=CF_2$, polymerises (free radical, under pressure) to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), known as Teflon:
$n\,CF_2=CF_2 \rightarrow [-CF_2-CF_2-]_n$
Teflon is chemically inert and heat resistant, and is used for non-stick cookware.
Orlon is from acrylonitrile, polythene from ethene, and nylon-6 from caprolactam.
