Cross-linked chains

Some polymers are elastic because they are made of
cross-linked chains

AysviL [449]3 years ago

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A polymer is defined as a substance which contains repeating units of monomers. Basically, a polymer is a long chain of monomer units as 'poly' means many and "mer" means units.

Hence, a polymer contains many units. Some polymers are long linear chains and some are cross-linked polymers.

A polymer is elastic in nature because it contains chains which are cross-linked. These chains have the ability to adjust themselves according to the force or stress applied on them.

As this cross-linkage is covalent in nature therefore, it makes sure that when stress is removed then the elastomer will return to its original shape.

Thus, we can conclude that some polymers are elastic because they are made of cross-linked chains.

How has the farming industry been affected by the use of fossil fuels?
irina [24]

Fossil fuels have increased the amount of crops harvested.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels have greatly increased the amount of crops affected in the farming industry. Farm mechanization is the use of machinery for farm works.

  • The bulk of machinery used on the farm are powered using fossil fuels obtained from organic matter of plants and animals.
  • The internal combustion engines of farm machines is fueled using crude oil products.
  • Tractors, harvesters, sprayers e.t.c used fossil fuels for their operations.

What is the molarity of a solution made by diluting 0.025L of 6.0 M HCl until
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the dilution equation: M1V1 = M2V2

M1 = 6.0 M

V1 = 0.025 L

M2 = ?

V2 = 1.75 L

(6.0 M)(0.025 L) = M2(1.75 L)

Solve for M2 --> M2 = 0.086 M HCl

What two aspects of a force do scientists measure?
Rashid [163]

Answer: option c. magnitude and direction


Explanation:


1) Force is a vector: it has magnitude and direction.


2) Magnitude measures the "intensity" of the force. It is measured in newtons (N), in the SI (international system of units). One newton is the force exerted to confere an acceleration of 1 m/s² to a mass of 1 kg.


3) Telling the magnitude of the force is not enough information to understand what the force is and to predict its effect.


It is necessary to tell the direction in which the force is applied.


It is not the same a force of 10 N that pulls that the same magnitude pushing. And it is not the same a hhorizontal force of 100 N to move an object, than the same magnitude applied at an agle.


That is why the force must be measured and reported as a magnitude and a direction.


4) Examples of forces correctly reported are:


i) 100 N vertically upward


ii) 1000 N 20° to the east of the north.


iii) 0.2 N with an elevation angle of 50°.


Then, scientists must measure the magnitude and the direction of the force.

Which type of van der walls force is responsible for holding polar molecules together? london dispersion dipole-dipole hydrogen
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Polar molecules are formed as result of covalent bonds between atoms.

Dipole-dipole attraction are intermolecular bonds. Both London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole attraction are van der waals forces.

In dipole-dipole attraction, polar molecules (unsymmetrical molecules) line up such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another. Example of such is found in HCl.
