Vedclass · Answer

(A) High-density polyethylene $(HDPE)$ is obtained by coordination polymerization using a $Ziegler-Natta$ catalyst.It has a higher melting point $(130^{\circ}C)$ and higher density $(0.97 \ g \ cm^{-3})$ compared to $LDP$.It consists of linear polymer chains,which leads to greater strength,stiffness,and heat resistance.$LDP$ (Low-density polyethylene) is produced at high pressure $(1000-2000 \ atm)$ and high temperature $(350-570 \ K)$,whereas $HDPE$ is produced at low pressure $(6-7 \ atm)$ and moderate temperature $(333-343 \ K)$.Therefore,the statement that $HDP$ melts at a lower temperature than $LDP$ is false.

Which among the following statements about $HDP$ is $NOT$ true?
