Best answer

In this polymer the double bonds are located between C2 and C3 of isoprene units. This c is configuration about double bonds do not allow the chains to come closer for effective attraction due to weak inter molecular attractions. Hence, the natural rubber has a coiled structure and shows elasticity.
