Polyethylene is prepared from calcium carbide as follows:
$CaC_2 + 2H_2O \to Ca(OH)_2 + C_2H_2$
$C_2H_2 + H_2 \to C_2H_4$
$nC_2H_4 \to (-CH_2-CH_2-)_n$

Assertion : $1, 3-$ Butadiene is the monomer for natural rubber.
Reason : Natural rubber is formed through anionic addition polymerization.

An organic compound $P$ with molecular formula $C_{9}H_{18}O_{2}$ decolorizes bromine water and also shows a positive iodoform test. $P$ on ozonolysis followed by treatment with $H_{2}O_{2}$ gives $Q$ and $R$. While compound $Q$ shows a positive iodoform test,compound $R$ does not. $Q$ and $R$ on oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate $(PCC)$ followed by heating give $S$ and $T$,respectively. Both $S$ and $T$ show a positive iodoform test.
Complete copolymerization of $500$ moles of $Q$ and $500$ moles of $R$ gives one mole of a single acyclic copolymer $U$.
