Branched chair polymers as compared to linear polymers have _________________?
Correct answer: D. Lower density
- A. Higher melting point
- B. Higher tensile strength
- C. None of these
- D. Lower density
Explanation
Branches prevent polymer chains from packing closely, so branched polymers generally have lower density than their linear counterparts. Linear chains usually pack better and therefore tend to show higher strength and melting point.
