← ScienceWhich limitation results as van der Waals forces weaken?
A)Reduced polymer tensile integrity✓
B)Decreased metallic yield strength
C)Higher electrochemical cell voltage
D)Lower semiconductor bandgap energy
💡 Explanation
Reduced tensile strength occurs because weaker intermolecular forces reduce the energy needed to break polymer chains during deformation. Therefore, integrity decreases rather than increases because stronger bonds allow far greater stress distribution.
