Differentiate between rubbers and plastics on the basis of intermolecular forces.
Options
- ARubbers have strong intermolecular forces, while plastics have weak forces.
- BRubbers are held together by covalent bonds, while plastics are held by van der Waals forces.
- CRubbers have weak intermolecular forces and are highly elastic, while plastics have stronger forces and are mo
- DRubbers are amorphous, while plastics have a crystalline structure.
Correct answer
C. Rubbers have weak intermolecular forces and are highly elastic, while plastics have stronger forces and are mo
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Rubbers have weak intermolecular forces and are highly elastic, while plastics have stronger forces and are more rigid.
