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

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.

Sugars are polar substances. Which action would make sugar more soluble in water?
Helen [10]

Answer the correct answer for the question is option a Increase in temperature of water.

Explanation- When the temperature of water is increased the energy of water is increased at molecular level, this increased energy causes vibration between the hot water molecules bit faster than in normal water which also allows the sugar molecules to vibrate and associate with water at molecular level as it gets more space between the molecules.  

Hence this action would make sugar more soluble in water.

What happens to the particles in matter when hear energy is added to them
Ipatiy [6.2K]
There are two possible situations.
1) If a phase change is not occurring, then the heat added contributes to increased translational energy of the particles. What that means is the particles move/vibrate faster.
2) If a phase change is occurring, then the heat added contributes to the breaking of bonds or intermolecular forces (depending on the chemical nature of the matter you're dealing with).

How do ionic bonds form in binary compounds?<br><br> (from discovery education)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms and is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble-gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
