What is the key difference between low-density polythene (LDP) and high-density polythene (HDP)?

Options

  1. ALDP is chemically inert, while HDP is chemically reactive.
  2. BLDP has a highly branched structure, while HDP consists of linear molecules.
  3. CLDP is a good conductor of electricity, while HDP is an insulator.
  4. DLDP is transparent, while HDP is opaque.

Correct answer

B. LDP has a highly branched structure, while HDP consists of linear molecules.

Step-by-step solution

The key difference between low-density polythene (LDP) and high-density polythene (HDP) is that LDP has a highly branched structure, while HDP consists of linear molecules.
