Concept introduction:
The polymers are classified based on the intermolecular forces present in the compound. These are four types. i.e., 1) Elastomers 2) Fibres 3) Thermoplastic polymers 4) Thermosetting polymers
Elastomers are the polymers which contain weakest forces of attractions.
Fibres are the thread forming polymers which contain very strong intermolecular attractions. Hence these polymers are used to make ropes [nylon (6, 6)]
Thermoplastics are the polymers which are linear or slightly branched and have intermediary intermolecular attractions between elastomers and fibres.

If the density of PbSe is 8.27 g/cm³, calculate the radius of the lead(II) ion. (The radius of selenide ion is given below.)arrow_forward
- 2.4 2.5 The unit cell for Platinum (Pt) has atoms which are located at each of the corners and at the centre of all the unit cell faces. The density and atomic weight of Pt are 21.45 g/cm³ and 195.08 g/mol, respectively. Given that the Avogadro's Number is 6.023 x 1023 atoms/mol, (a) sketch the atomic arrangement on the (010) plane of the unit cell. (b) determine the lattice constant, a of Pt atom. (c) calculate the atomic radius of Pt atom. A sample of BCC iron (Fe) was placed in an X-ray diffractometer using incoming X-rays with a wavelength, λ = 0.1541 nm. Diffraction from the {110} planes was obtained at 20 = 44.704°. Assuming that the order of reflection is 1, calculate: (a) the interplanar spacing of the planes (b) the value for the lattice constant, a for BCC Fearrow_forwardDescribe the process of doping and explain how it alters the atomic structure of silicon.arrow_forward4.
