Branched chain polymers compared to linear polymers have higher ____________________?
Correct answer: C. Degree of irregularity in atomic packing
- A. Density
- B. Tensile strength
- C. Degree of irregularity in atomic packing
- D. Melting point
Explanation
Branches prevent polymer chains from packing closely and regularly, so branched polymers have a higher degree of irregularity in atomic packing. This generally lowers density, tensile strength, and melting point compared with linear polymers.
