In which of the following pairs the polymer is correctly matched with the forces possessed by them. A. Neoprene --- Weak intermolecular forces B. Terylene --- Hydrogen bonding C. Polystyrene ---- Very weak intermolecular forces D. Polythene --- Hydrogen bonding
  1. $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$
  2. $\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{D}$
  3. $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$
  4. $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{D}$

Solution

Neoprene = Elastomer (Weak intermolecular forces) Terylene $=$ Fibre $($ Hydrogen bonding $)$ Polystyrene $=$ Thermoplastic (Weak intermolecular forces) Polythene $=$ Thermoplastic (very weak intermolecular forces)
