matrix of polymers.
A. Composites C. Silicones

Directions. Write TRUE if the statement is correct. If false, underline the word/s that
make the statement incorrect. Write the correct word/s on the blank.

____________ 11. The strength of interaction between molecules determines the

properties of a substance like its physical state at a given temperature.
____________ 12. Electrostatic forces are weaker than the intramolecular forces.
____________ 13. Non-polar molecules are considered as permanent dipoles because
the polarity of the molecules are unchanging.
____________ 14. In Kinetic Molecular Theory, two conditions must be satisfied for a
chemical reaction to take place: particles of reactants must physically collide and come
into direct contact with each other.
____________ 15. The minimum amount of collision energy needed for a reaction to
occur is the energy of activation.
____________ 16. The rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of
reacting substances.
____________ 17. The rate of a chemical reaction decreases with increasing
temperature.
____________ 18. The excess reactant determines the amount of products formed
during a chemical reaction.
____________ 19. The theoretical yield refers to the amount of product actually
obtained from the chemical reaction.
____________ 20. Reactant atoms that do not appear in the product are considered as
wastes.
