A) Rotatory
B) Atactic
C) Swapper
D) Isotactic
E) Syndiotactic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A polymer in which the substituents are oriented randomly along the polymer chain is called an atactic polymer. Choice A (Rotatory) and C (Swapper) are not correct terms used in polymer chemistry. Choice D (Isotactic) refers to a polymer in which all substituents are oriented in the same direction along the polymer chain, while choice E (Syndiotactic) refers to a polymer in which the substituents alternate regularly along the polymer chain.
