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 :INTERMOLECULAR forces are the weakest in elastomers and strongest in fibres. The increasing order of intermolecular forces is :
Elastomers ` lt `PLASTICS `lt `Fibres
Thus, the increasing order of intermolecular forces in the given polymers is:
(i) Buna-S `lt ` Polythene `lt` Nylon-6, 6
(II) Neoprene `lt ` Polyvinyl chloride `lt` Nylon-6
