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 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 chains of alkene molecules. Aromatic molecules have a benzene - like ring structure and are not the basis of natural rubber. Chloroprene is the monomer for neoprene (synthetic rubber), not natural rubber. Styrene is the monomer for polystyrene and not related to natural rubber's formation.

Answer:

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