Question

Assertion (A): Ethene polymerized in the presence of Ziegler-Natta catalyst at high temperature and pressure, is used to make buckets and dustbins.\ Reason (R): High density polymers are closely packed and are chemically inert.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Assertion A is incorrect because Ziegler-Natta catalysis occurs at low pressure and moderate temperature to produce HDP. Reason R is correct as HDP is closely packed, chemically inert, and used to make buckets.
