Chemistry Question on Polymers
Thermoplastics are:
A
(A) Linear polymers
B
(B) Soften or melt on heating
C
(C) The molten polymer can be moulded in the desired shape
D
(D) All of the above
Answer
(D) All of the above
Explanation
Solution
Explanation:
Thermoplastics are linear or slightly branched long-chain molecules. They are capable of repeatedly softening on heating and hardening on cooling. The molten thermoplastics can be molded in the desired shape. It is a polymer that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and returns to a solid-state upon cooling.Hence, the correct option is (D).
