Solution

The correct option is C P and Q
  • Teflon is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene. Its chemical name is poly-tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4)n. It is used for coating cooking utensils and industrial equipment to avoid sticking. So, teflon is non-sticky.
  • Its melting point is 327 oC. Hence it is heat resistant.
  • It does not conduct electricity, so it is a poor conductor of electricity.
Only P and Q are true.
