Give two differences between linear polymers and branched chain polymers.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question regarding the differences between linear polymers and branched chain polymers, we can break it down into two main points: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Structure**: - **Linear Polymers**: These polymers consist of long, straight chains of repeating units (monomers). The structure is simplified and uniform, allowing the chains to pack closely together. - **Branched Chain Polymers**: In contrast, branched chain polymers have linear chains with side branches. This results in a more complex structure as the branches create a network of connections among the chains. ...
