Chapter 10, Problem 58QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The principal structural difference between low density and high density polyethylene has to be stated.  Whether polyethylene is an addition or condensation polymer has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Polymerization is joining of small molecular units, to form a large structure known as polymer.  Small monomer units add up to form a chain or a three dimensional structure of the polymer.  Plastic is an example of synthetic polymers.  These are malleable and can be molded into different forms.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The density difference between low and high-density polyethylene is a result of the difference between branching in the polymer structures at the molecular level. Which of these two polymers tend to be more flexible and is used for lids of containers such as butter tubs?
Differentiate thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers and explain the reason behind the difference in their properties.
Polyethylene is used for the production of beach chairs as well as beach balls. Which of these items is made from more highly branched polyethylene?
