Points to Remember

Some of the important points to remember from the NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 15 are as follows:

• The word ‘polymer’ is coined from two Greek words; ‘poly’ means many and ‘mer’ means unit or part.

• The term polymer is defined as huge molecules having high molecular mass.

• These are also called macromolecules, formed by joining repeating structural units on a large scale.

• Therefore, the various applications depend upon their unique mechanical properties like tensile strength, elasticity, etc.

• These mechanical properties are governed by intermolecular forces, e.g., Van Der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds present in the polymer.

• The forces also bind the polymer chains.

• Therefore, polymers are classified into four sub-groups based on the magnitude of their intermolecular forces.
