Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymers tend to have variable compositions due to their long chain structures and the possibility of different chain lengths and side groups. They also melt over a range of temperatures because of the diverse interactions and structures within the polymer, which leads to a poorly defined melting point. Additionally, in the solid state, polymers can have regions that are disordered due to the way the long chains can arrange themselves, unlike small molecules which tend to have more ordered structures.
