Polymers

• All of the atoms in a polymer are joined by strong covalent bonds
• The intermolecular forces between polymer molecules are larger than simple covalent molecules, so more energy is needed to break them.
• The intermolecular forces between polymer molecules are relatively strong, making them solid at room temperatures.
• The intermolecular forces in Polymers are weaker than ionic or covalent bonds, making them have lower boiling points than ionic or giant molecular compounds.
