Options
Tough
Hard
Poor conductor of electricity
Highly branched structure
Advertisements
Solution
Poor conductor of electricity
Explanation:
Low-density polythene: It is obtained by the polymerisation of ethene under high pressure of 1000 to 2000 atmospheres at a temperature of 350 K to 570 K in the presence of traces of dioxygen or a peroxide initiator (catalyst). They are flexible in nature.
