Which of the following polymer has strongest intermolecular forces of attraction?

  1. A Neoprene
  2. B Terylene
  3. C Polythene
  4. D Polystyrene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Terylene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Neoprene have the weakest intermolecular forces as it is a elastomer. There are only few cross-links between the chains.
Terylene have strong intermolecular forces like dipole-dipole interaction. It is a fibre type of polymer.
Polyster and polythene are thermoplastic types of polymer. They have intermolecular forces, which are intermediate between those of elastomers and fibres.
