Question

Which of the following statement is/are correct regarding elastomers?

(a) It has high elastic properties

(b) It has weak intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules

(c) Rubber is a good example of an elastomer

(d) Elastomers have high elastic properties, weak intermolecular forces of attraction and rubber is a good example of an elastomer

I have been asked this question in unit test.

The doubt is from Testing topic in chapter Corrosion Testing of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Elastomers have high elastic properties, weak intermolecular forces of attraction and rubber is a good example of an elastomer

The explanation: Elastomers are the part of polymers which have high viscous and weak intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules. It has high elastic properties such as high resilience, elastic deformation. Rubber is a good example of an elastomer.
