Question
Chapter 9, Problem 26Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason that supports that polypropylene serves as good choice for bottle cap has to be identified. The difficulty in using polypropylene while recycling PET bottles has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as
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 is they are closely approaching each other with increasing molecular attractions that makes it stronger than LDPE.
