Chemical bonding — practice question

When 1,1-dichloroethene undergoes polymerisation, it forms a dense substance with a high melting point that gases cannot diffuse through. It is used as cling wrapping. Which sequence is shown in a short section of the polymer chain?

  • A$\{\text{CH}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CCl}_2\}$
  • B$\{\text{CHClCHClCHClCHClCHClCHCl}\}$
  • C$\{\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\}$
  • D$\{\text{CH}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CHClCHClCH}_2\text{CCl}_2\}$
