Question

Which type of polymer structure generally results in a low density and low melting point due to poor packing efficiency?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Branched chain polymers contain linear chains with extending branches. These branches prevent the polymer chains from packing closely together, leading to lower densities, lower melting points, and lower tensile strength compared to perfectly linear polymers.
