Question

Which of the following statements are correct when comparing Low-Density Polythene (LDPE) and High-Density Polythene (HDPE)?

Answer: A,B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Both are homopolymers of ethene formed by addition. LDPE uses extreme pressure and radical initiators causing backbiting (branching). HDPE uses Ziegler-Natta catalysts yielding linear chains. Both are thermoplastics, not thermosets; they melt reversibly.
