Arrange the following polymers in increasing order of their intermolecular forces: (i) Nylon 6, 6, Buna-s, Polythene. (ii) Nylon 6, Neoprene, Polyvinyl chloride.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Elastomers or rubbers have the WEAKEST intermolecular FORCES of attraction followed by plastics while fibres have the strongest forces of attraction. Thus, the increasing intermolecular forces of attraction FOLLOWS the order :Elastomer `lt`Plastic`lt` Fibre.
(i) Buna-S, POLYTHENE, Nylon 6, 6.
(ii) Neoprene, Polyvinyl chloride, Nylon 6.
