Q32
Consider the Assertion and Reason given below. 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. Choose the correct answer from the following:
A Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C (A) is correct but (R) is wrong.
D (A) and (R) both are wrong.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

High density polyethene is hard and chemically inert thats why used to make buckets and dustbins.

Q33
The polymer, which can be stretched and remains its original status on releasing the force is
