  1. The basic chemical building block of natural rubber obtained from trees is
    1. Isoprene
    2. Vinyl Chloride
    3. Acetylene
    4. Neoprene
Correct Option: A

Isoprene was first isolated by thermal decomposition of natural rubber. About 95% of isoprene production is used to produce cis-1,4polyisoprene—a synthetic version of natural rubber. Natural rubber consists mainly of poly-cis-isoprene with a molecular weight of 100,000 to 1,000,000.
