Answer: Please see below for answer

Explanation:A thermosetting polymer is a polymer that consists a of cross-linked structure or heavily network of branched molecules.

Elastomers are loosely cross-linked polymers which are highly flexible and elastic which can make them stretch easily and return to thier original shapes.

a) Linear and highly crystalline polyethylene is a linear thermoplastic it will not be an elastomer or themoset.

.

(b) Phenol-formaldehyde is anetwork structured thermosetting  resin which is regarded  as  the most useful thermosetting resin especially in the production of wood based panels.

(c) Heavily crosslinked polyisoprene having a glass-transition temperature of 50 deg C is a  thermoset since it is heavily cross linked above room temperature.

(d) Lightly crosslinked polyisoprene having a glass-transition temperature of -60 deg C is both an elastomer and thermoset since it has both characteristics .

(e) Linear and partially amorphous poly (vinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic and not  an elastomer or a thermoset.

Why does a salt compound give off light (or a colored flame) when burned? 4. did lithium chloride and sodium chloride give off s
Free_Kalibri [48]

3) Answer is: because elements have different emmision spectrum.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Each element's emission spectrum is unique.

4) Answer is: lithium chloride and sodium chloride do not have similar colors.

Lithium ion has red and sodium ion has yellow emission spectrum.

5) Answer is: because metals have valence electrons in different energy shells.

Each transition has a specific energy difference.

6) Answer is: salts of alkaline and earth alkaline metals.

For example barium chloride gives green light.
