NEETChemistryPolymers
Why do elastomers possess elastic properties?
Options
- AElastomers are naturally occurring materials with inherent elasticity.
- BElastomers have a rigid molecular structure that makes them highly flexible.
- CElastomers contain a high concentration of metal ions, which give them their elasticity.
- DElastomers possess elastic properties because the intermolecular forces are the weakest. As a result, they can
Correct answer
D. Elastomers possess elastic properties because the intermolecular forces are the weakest. As a result, they can
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Elastomers possess elastic properties because the intermolecular forces are the weakest. As a result, they can regain their original shape when the stress is removed.
