Is rubber a polymer?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  • Rubber is a polymer, to be sure. It's an elastomer polymer that can revert to its original shape after being deformed or stretched.
  • Rubber's ability to stretch its links apart gives it considerable elasticity.
  • They are found in a linear form when stretched.
  • When the rubber is loosened, it has wrinkled chains that change randomly and form a disordered cluster.

Hence, rubber is a polymer.
