Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 4P
Polyethylene consists of fibrous molecules of covalently bonded atoms tangled and interacting like the fibers of a cotton ball. Weaker van der Waals forces act between the molecules with a strength that is inversely related to separation distance.
- What properties of polyethylene can be attributed to the covalent bonding?
- What properties are most likely the result of the weaker van der Waals forces?
- If we pull on the ends of a cotton ball, the cotton fibers go from a random arrangement to an array of somewhat aligned fibers. Assuming we get a similar response from deformed polyethylene, how might properties change? Why?
- Would the properties of the deformed polyethylene be isotropic or anisotropic?
