Arrange the following polymers in increasing order of their intermolecular forces. Nylon-6, 6, buna-S, polythene, neoprene

Options

  1. ANeoprene <\lt buna-S <\lt nylon-6, 6,<6, \lt polythene
  2. BNeoprene <\lt buna-S <\lt polythene <\lt nylon-6, 6
  3. CPolythene <\lt nylon- 6,6<6,6 \lt buna- S<\mathrm{S} \lt neoprene
  4. DPolythene <\lt buna-S <\lt nylon-6, 6<6 \lt neoprene

Correct answer

B. Neoprene <\lt buna-S <\lt polythene <\lt nylon-6, 6

Step-by-step solution

The increasing order of intermolecular forces in different polymers is elastomers < plastics <\lt fibres. So, in order to solve such problem, first classify the given polymer into the above classes and then arrange them in increasing order of forces. Neoprene (synthetic rubber) is an elastomer, buna-S is also an elastomer, polythene is plastic and nylon-6, 6 is a fibre. So, the increasing order of intermolecular forces of the given polymer is Neoprene <\lt buna-S <\lt polythene <\lt nylon- 6,6
