Answer:
natural rubber has the weakest intermolecular forces of attraction
Explanation:
Cellulose chains are linear and aggregation occurs via both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds
PVC consists of polar molecules which are attracted to each other by dipole-dipole interactions
Nylon has amide linkage capable of forming intermolecular H-bonding as : Due to H-bonding, nylon has strong intermolecular attraction
natural rubber has weak attraction due to the van der waal's forces.
among H-bonding , dipole-dipole interaction and van der waals forces the latter forms the weakest bond.
