      What are thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers? Give one example of each.                                            3

    Answer:

           Thermoplastic polymers : (i)These are the linear or slightly branched long chain molecules capable of repeatedly softening on heating and hardening on cooling.                                                                                                                                                                    1 (ii) These polymers passes intermolecular forces of attraction intermediate between elastomers and fibres, e.g., polythene, polystyrene.                                                                                                                                                               Thermosetting polymers: These polymers are cross linked or heavily branched molecules which on heating undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become infusible. These cannot be refused.             1
