Explain the differences between the thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics with

the help of a diagram explaining in terms of arrangements of monomers?



In thermoplastic, monomers are arranged in linear fashion and there is no linkage (ionic/covalent bond) between different linear chains while in thermosetting, monomers are arranged


in such a way that linkage exists between consecutive linear chains. As we can see in the figure the black one is the point of joining of two different linear chains.
