*****DETAILED SOLUTION*****
(1) Sol: In addition polymerisation, the molecules of the same or different monomers add together
to form a large polymer molecule without the elimination of simple molecules like H 2O, HCl etc.
Condensation polymerisation is a process in which two or more bifunctional molecules undergo a
series of condensation reactions with the elimination of some simple molecules like H 2O, HCl,
alcohol leading to the formation of polymers.
(2) Sol: Benzoyl peroxide

(3) Sol: Low density polythene is tough but flexible (not too hard) and a poor conductor of
electricity. It has highly branched structure.
(4) Sol: Low density polythene (LDP) is obtained by polymerisation of ethene under high pressure of
1000–2000 atm at a temperature of 350 K to 570 K in presence of traces of dioxygen or peroxide
initiator. It is formed by free radical addition and has branched structure.
LDP is chemically inert, tough, slightly flexible and poor conductor of electricity. Hence it is used for
insulation of electric wires and manufacturing of squeeze bottles and flexible pipes.
High density polythene (HDP) is formed by polymerisation of ethene in a hydrocarbon solvent in
presence of Ziegler–Natta catalyst, at a pressure of 6–7 atm and temperature of 333 K to 343 K.
HDP is a linear molecule and has high density which makes it tougher and harder. Hence it is used in
manufacturing buckets, jars, etc.

(7) Sol: High density polymer is not branched. It is made up of linear molecules which are closely
packed.
