Question

Constituent monomer making up teflon molecular formula

Answer 1

PTFE is polymerized from the chemical compound tetrafluoroethylene, or TFE. A non-stick pan is composed of varying non-stick layers. TFE is synthesized from fluorspar, hydrofluoric acid, and chloroform. These ingredients are combined under high heat, an action known as pyrolosis.

Answer 2

C2F4)n Formula

Polytetrafluoroethylene



Polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, is made of
a carbon backbone chain, and each carbon has two fluorine atoms attached to it.

Teflon is a polymer, which is made by joining together lots of smaller molecules called monomers. In this case, the monomer is tetrafluoroethene (TFE), and when polymerised it becomes poly-TFE, or PTFE as it's sometimes called.
