together by relatively weak intermolecular forces so that the material softens when exposed to heat and then returns to its original condition when cooled. Thermoplastic polymers can be repeatedly softened by heating and then solidified by cooling - a process similar to the repeated melting and cooling of metals. Most linear and slightly branched polymers are thermoplastic. All the major thermoplastics are produced by chain polymerization. Thermoplastics have a wide range of applications because they

(See References 3) Heating and Cooling The average U.S. household spends $1‚900 each year on utilities‚ with roughly half of this amount going toward heating and air conditioning costs (see References 5‚ page 2). You can improve the efficiency of heating and air conditioning units by frequently cleaning or replacing air filters and by having your furnace cleaned every year. In addition

Disconnect the condenser and draw up some of the reaction mixture in a fresh capillary. Reattach the condenser and spot the second and third dots on the plate. Resume heating at reflux and carefully place the plate into the TLC chamber. Place a watch glass on top to prevent evaporation of the methylene
