Q. Among cellulose, poly (vinyl chloride), nylon and natural rubber, the polymer in which the intermolecular force of attraction is weakest is

IIT JEEIIT JEE 2009Polymers

Solution:

Cellulose and nylons have H-bonding type of intermolecular attraction while poly (vinyl chloride) is polar. Natural rubber is hydrocarbon and has the weakest intermolecular force of attraction,
i.e. van der Waals' force of attraction.
