To determine

To Explain: Rubber bands expand in length when cooled.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Most of the materials expand on heating. The amount by which each material expands depends on their thermal coefficient of expansion.

Rubber bands have unusual polymer structure. When the rubber band is heated, the long chains of loosely packed atoms vibrate and decrease in length causing the band to contract. On cooling, these long chains relax and stretch causing the band to expand.
