← ScienceWhich consequence results when van der Waals forces fail within polymer chains?
A)Increased tensile strength observed
B)Reduced thermal expansion occurs
C)Intermolecular slippage will increase✓
D)Enhanced chemical resistance arises
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature causes chains to slide because the London dispersion forces weaken with rising temperature, therefore intermolecular slippage increases; rather than other outcomes where increased temperature would have negligible impact provided polymers remain intact.
