Q97 / 200 · NEET 2023 (Manipur) · Chemistry
Given below are two statements:
Statement I:
High density polythene is formed in the presence of catalyst triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride.
Statement II:
High density polymers are chemically inert
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- Correct answerABoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is false.
- DStatement $\mathrm{I}$ is incorrect but Statement II is true.
Solution
High density polythene is formed by addition polymerisation of ethene in the presence of catalyst triethyl aluminium and titanium tetrachloride (Ziegler Natta Catalyst).
So, Statement I is correct.
High density polymers are chemically inert.
So, Statement II is also correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
