Students have asked these similar questions
One of the critical properties of polymers is elasticity. The ability of many polymeric materials to be stressed and deformed but return to their original shape is a characteristic that is often valuable to engineers. Suggest a reason why polymer molecules are mostly elastic. a. made of ionic solid b. made of metallic solid c. made of crystalline solid d. made of amorphous solid
They tend to strengthen a material (such as a plastic) made from this polymer. They also make the polymer harder and more difficult to melt. a. crosslinks b. Thermoplastics c. pendant groups d. backbone
1. What is polymer? a. A large molecule made by twisted chains. b. A small molecule made of one atom. c. A large molecule made by human. d. A large molecule made by monomers.
