Why are some polymers elastic?

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<u>Polymers are elastic because </u><u>their strength of recovering their original shape is high having very weak inter-molecular forces and low Young's modulus</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Polymer chains are held together in polymers which are elastic materials by very weak intermolecular bonds, which aloow the polymers to stretch in response to macroscopic stresses applied to them. This extreme flexibility in elastic polymers can extend from 5–700%, depending on the specific material. This elasticity is not due to covalent cross-links, but instead for thermodynamic reasons. So we can say that polymers are elastic because they have very weak inter-molecular forces and low Young's modulus.

Releasing the stress allows the kinks, coils and loops to form again, and the rubber returns to its original dimensions. Materials made of long, tangled molecules stretch very easily. Their elastic modulus is very small. They are called elastomers because they are very "elastic" polymers

1.¿El ciclo del agua tiene un inicio específico?
raketka [301]

Answer:

1)El ciclo del agua no se inicia en un lugar específico, pero para esta explicación asumimos que comienza en los océanos. ... Corrientes ascendentes de aire llevan el vapor a las capas superiores de la atmósfera, donde la menor temperatura causa que el vapor de agua se condense y forme las nubes.

2)El sol, que dirige el ciclo del agua, calienta el agua de los océanos, la cual se evapora hacia el aire como vapor de agua. Corrientes ascendentes de aire llevan el vapor a las capas superiores de la atmósfera, donde la menor temperatura causa que el vapor de agua se condense y forme las nubes.
