NEET2023ChemistryPolymersActual
Given below are two statements: Statement I: High density polythene is formed in the presence of catalyst triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride. Statement II: High density polymers are chemically inert In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is false.
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Step-by-step solution
High density polythene is formed by addition polymerisation of ethene in the presence of catalyst triethyl aluminium and titanium tetrachloride (Ziegler Natta Catalyst). So, Statement I is correct. High density polymers are chemically inert. So, Statement II is also correct.
