1. The polymers which possess the property of elastic is called rubber.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The polymers which possess the property of elastic is called the rubber. Temporary deformation takes place.

2. The temporary deformation of rubber takes place after applying the _______ stress.
a) 600e.u
b) More than 600e.u
c) 500e.u
d) more than 500e.u
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The temporary deformation of the rubber takes place after applying the stress around more than 600e.u. when the stress is applied the chains get partially aligns with respect to the other.

3. The elasticity of the rubber is due to its ___________
a) Trigonal planar
b) Octahedral
c) Pentagonal bipyramidal
d) Helix
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The elasticity of the rubber is due to its helical structure. On releasing the stress, the chains get reverted back to their original coiled state.
