Correct statement for thermoplastic polymer isA. It does not become soft on heating uder pressureB. It cannot be remouldedC. It is either linear or branched chain polymerD. It is a cross-linked polymer

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Thermoplastic polymers are linear of slightly branched polymers in which the intermolucular forces of attraction are intermediate between elastomers and fibres. These polymers soften on heating and become rigid on cooling. The process of softening , moulding and cooling can be repeated as often as desired . It is not a cross-linked polymer.

Explain the terms polymer and monomer.

Answer»

Polymers are high molecular mass of macromolecules composed of repeating structural units derived from monomers. Polymers have a high molecular mass (103-107u). In a polymer, various monomer units are joined by strong covalent bonds. Polymers can be natural as well as synthetic. Polythene, rubber and nylon 6,6 are examples of polymers.

Monomers are simple, reactive molecules that combine with each other in large numbers through covalent bonds to give rise to polymers. For example ethene, propene, styrene, vinyl chloride.
