Question 49

Buna-S can be represented as:

Buna-S is the most common synthetic rubber. The name tells everything about its composition:
• “Bu” comes from $$1,3$$-butadiene
• “Na” indicates that sodium metal was the first catalyst used for its polymerisation
• “S” stands for styrene

Hence Buna-S is obtained by copolymerising $$1,3$$-butadiene\,(approx. $$75\%$$) with styrene\,(approx. $$25\%$$).

The structural repeat unit of the copolymer is therefore made by alternating segments derived from the two monomers:

$$\Bigl[\,CH_2\;{\text{-}}\;CH{=}\!CH\;{\text{-}}\;CH_2\,\Bigr]_x \;\;\;\Bigl[\,CH_2\;{\text{-}}\;CH(C_6H_5)\,\Bigr]_y$$

Any option that shows these two fragments—one with conjugated double bond units from butadiene and the other with a phenyl-substituted $$CH$$ unit from styrene—joined into the same main chain is the correct representation.

Among the four drawings given in the question, Option B (Option 2) is the only one that displays a polymer chain containing both
$$\;-\!CH_2-CH=CH-CH_2-\;$$ and $$\;-\!CH_2-CH(C_6H_5)-\;$$ links. Therefore,

Answer: Option B (Option 2).
