Question
Chapter 9.4, Problem 9.9YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given terms MDPE and LLDPE has to be identified and their properties have to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form
The LDPE is more highly branched in which the molecular attractions will be less between the chains that makes the polymer to be softer and easily deformed.
The HDPE are fewer branches that are they are closely approaching each other with increasing molecular attractions that makes it stronger than LDPE.

Use an example to show how branching and cross linking can affect the physical behavior of a polymer.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is opaque while low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is transparent. Briefly explain this phenomenon in terms of structure.
