Arrange the following polymers in the increasing order of their intermolecular forces :
(a)Nylon 6,6 , Buna-s, polythene
(b)PVC , nylon 6, neoprene

Open in App

Solution

Elastomers or rubbers have the weakest plastics have intermediate and fibres have the strongest intermolecular forces of attraction.
Thus the order will be:
1) Buna − S < polythene < Nylon 6, 6

2) Neoprene < PVC < Nylon 6
