how do double bond in rubber influence their structure and reactivity

Explanation:
This cis-configuration about double bonds do not allow the chains to come closer for effective attraction due to weak intermolecular attractions. Hence, the natural rubber has a coiled structure and shows elasticity.

Natural rubber is a linear. It is cis-1,4- polyisoprene. The double bonds are located between C 2 and C 3 of isoprene units. This cis-configuration about double bonds do not allow the chains to come closer for effective attraction due to weak intermolecular attractions. Hence, the natural rubber has a coiled structure and shows elasticity.
