Answer 1

Answer:

Thermosetting polymers: These are cross-linked or heavily branched polymers.A thermosetting polymer is a permanent setting polymer as it gets hardened and sets during moulding process and cannot be softened again.eg,Bakelite, melamine.

Thermoplastics: A thermoplastic polymer can be repeatedly softened on heating and hardened on cooling. Hence, it can be used again and again.eg,Combs, toys.
