Which consequence results when elevated temperature weakens intermolecular forces in polymers?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperature causes a greater kinetic energy therefore increased molecular motion that reduces the effect of intermolecular forces of attraction and results in reduced tensile strength rather than increased conductivity because electron flow faces increased resistance, or increased resistance to expansion because the material becomes weaker, or promoted inertness.
