Question

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

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
