JEE Advance - Chemistry (2009 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 8)
Among cellulose, poly(vinyl chloride), nylon and natural rubber, the polymer in which the intermolecular force of attraction is weakest is
Nylon
Poly(vinyl chloride)
Cellulose
Natural Rubber
Explanation
Natural rubber is an elastomer in which the chains are held together by weak van der Waals forces of attraction. Cellulose and nylon are fibres and PVC is a thermoplastic. Both these classes of polymers have stronger forces of attraction in the order
Fibre > Thermoplastic > Elastomer.
