Pick out the wrong statement regarding the solubility characteristics of high polymers?
AGreater the degree of cross-linking in the polymer, lesser is its solubility
BPolymers having more aliphatic character are more soluble in aliphatic solvents, while those polymers having more aromatic character are more soluble in aromatic solvents
CHigh molecular weight polymers on dissolving gives solution of very low viscosity
DSwelling tendency or solubility of polymers in a particular solvent decreases with increase in molecular weight of the solvent
Correct answer
C. High molecular weight polymers on dissolving gives solution of very low viscosity
Explanation
The correct answer is High molecular weight polymers on dissolving gives solution of very low viscosity.
