Question

rubber is manufactured from latex that is produced from rubber trees. which statement about rubber is true? it is made from the polymerization of a long chain of aromatic molecules. it is made from the polymerization of a short chain of aromatic molecules. it is made from the polymerization of a short chain of chloroprene molecules. it is made from the polymerization of a long chain of alkene molecules. it is made from the polymerization of a short chain of styrene molecules.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene (2 - methyl - 1,3 - butadiene), which is an alkene. It is formed by the polymerization of long - chain alkene molecules. Aromatic molecules are not the basis of rubber polymerization. Chloroprene is the monomer for neoprene (synthetic rubber), not natural rubber. Short - chain polymerizations do not describe the formation of natural rubber. Styrene is a monomer for polystyrene and not related to rubber formation.

Answer:

It is made from the polymerization of a long chain of alkene molecules.
