Question

Assertion: The correct order of increasing molecular forces in the given polymers is: Buna-S, Polythene, Nylon-6,6. Reason:The properties of polymers depend upon the molecular forces. (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Elastomers (buna-S) have weakest intermolecuiar forces. Fibres (nylon-6,6) have strong intermolecuiar forces. Thermoplastic polymers (polythene) have intermolecuiar forces intermediate between elastomers and fibres.
