Short Answer

Expert verified

The short segment of gutta-percha is shown below.

Step by step solution

01

Gutta-percha

Gutta-percha is an isomer of rubber and is a polyterpene. It is obtained from several evergreen trees. It comprises a trans structure and is not elastic. It has several applications like adhesives, surgical appliances, etc.

02

Drawing the short segment off gutta-percha

Polymerization is a process of synthesizing polymers by the linkage of several monomer units. Natural rubber is an example of a polymer, and its monomer is (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene), called the isoprene unit.

The isoprene unit is given below.

Isoprene unit of rubber

The double bond present in the natural rubber has a Z configuration.

An isomer of rubber is gutta-percha. It comprises double bonds with an E configuration. It is harder and brittle compared to rubber.

The short segment of gutta-percha is given below.
