Elasticity in polymers is generally related to the amount of hydrogen bonding between different parts of the polymer. True False
Added by Karen L.
Step 1
This is mainly due to the presence of weak intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, between the polymer chains. Hydrogen bonding is a specific type of intermolecular force, but it is not the only factor contributing to the elasticity of polymers. Show more…
