Why do elastomers possess elastic properties?

Options

  1. AElastomers are naturally occurring materials with inherent elasticity.
  2. BElastomers have a rigid molecular structure that makes them highly flexible.
  3. CElastomers contain a high concentration of metal ions, which give them their elasticity.
  4. 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.
