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.

- Three molecular requirements for crystallinity in polymersarrow_forwardThe rutile and fluorite structures, shown here (anions arecolored green), are two of the most common structure typesof ionic compounds where the cation to anion ratio is 1 : 2.(a) For CaF2 and ZnF2 use ionic radii, Ca2+ (r = 1.14 A° ),Zn2+ (r = 0.88 A° ), and F- (r = 1.19 A° ), to predict whichcompound is more likely to crystallize with the fluoritestructure and which with the rutile structure. (b) What arethe coordination numbers of the cations and anions in eachof these structures?arrow_forwardIs iodine monochloride in solid form conductive with respect to electrical conductivity? Why or why not?arrow_forward
