HD poly(ethene) is stronger and denser than LD poly(ethene). Which statement explains why?
The chains in HD poly(ethene) are joined by covalent cross-links
The chains in HD poly(ethene) are made from a different monomer
The chains in HD poly(ethene) are shorter so more chains can pack in
The chains in HD poly(ethene) are straighter so they pack more closely
