The difference in the densities of low density (LDP) and high density polymers (HDP) is due to the fact that
A
LDP are highly branched structures while HDP consists of closely packed linear molecules
B
LDP are liner chains while HDP are branched chains of polythene
C
Both LDP and HDP are unbranched linear chains with different lengths
D
At high temperature, the density of polymer is reduced.
Answer
LDP are highly branched structures while HDP consists of closely packed linear molecules
Explanation
Solution
The polymers formed under different conditions differ in their structural features. LDP are highly branched while HDP are closely packed molecules. Close packing increase their density.
