1. Classification of plastics that is defined by a density of greater or equal to 0.941 g/cm3. It

has a low degree of branching and thus stronger intermolecular forces and tensile
strength.
a) Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX or XLPE)
b) High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
c) Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE)
d) Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
2. Classification of plastics that is defined by a density range of 0.910–0.940 g/cm3. It has a
high degree of short and long chain branching, which means that the chains do not pack
into the crystal structure as well.
a) Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX or XLPE)
b) High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
c) Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE)
d) Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
3. Plastic classification that can be produced by chromium/silica catalysts, Ziegler-Natta
catalysts or metallocene catalysts. It has good shock and drop resistance properties.
a) Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX or XLPE)
b) High-density polyethylene (HDPE)
c) Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE)
d) Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
4. A type of plastic that do not undergo chemical change in their composition when heated
and can be molded again and again.
a) Thermosetting polymer
b) Thermoplastic
c) Polyethylene
d) Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX or XLPE)
5. The first synthetic polymer was invented in 1869 by who?
a) Leo Baekeland
b) Wallace Carothers
c) John Wesley Hyatt
d) Susan Freinkel
6. He invented Nylon.
a) Leo Baekeland
b) Wallace Carothers
c) John Wesley Hyatt
d) Susan Freinkel
7. This are assumed to have infinite molecular weight. These chains are made up of many
repeating molecular units each polymer chain will have several thousand repeating units.
It can melt and take shape once; after they have solidified, they stay solid.
a) Thermosetting polymer
b) Thermoplastics
c) Polyethylene
d) Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX or XLPE)
