Polymerisation — practice question

Polymerisation of 1,1-dichloroethene gives a compact substance with a high melting point that does not let gases pass through. It is used for cling wrapping. Which repeating sequence is found 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$\{\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CCl}_2\}$
  • D$\{\text{CH}_2\text{CCl}_2\text{CHClCHClCH}_2\text{CCl}_2\}$
