Why do silicates have low density?
why do silicate materials have low electron density
To be effective a pot holder should have low Conductivity malleability density or viscosity?
An effective potholder has density and low conductivity.
Which of the following has the lowest density?
air
Is the density of a liquid high or low?
it is nor high or low but medium.
What is polyethylene polymer powder?
Polyethylene is a lightweight thermoplastic made from hydrocarbons. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is the most widely used plastic. It is relatively inexpensive, flexible, strong, and chemical-resistant, and can be molded molded into bottles, food packaging, and plastic toys. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is stronger than LDPE and is made into products such as grocery bags, car parts, packaging, and piping.
What is poly(ethene)?
polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) Polymer of ethene. It is a partially crystalline, lightweight, thermoplastic resin with high resistance to chemicals, low moisture absorption and good insulating properties. Low-density polyethene (LDPE) was first produced in the 1930s. It is mainly used in the manufacture of plastic bags. High-density polyethene (HDPE), synthesized in the 1950s, is more flexible and is used for mouldings. polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) Polymer of ethene.

Why polythene are tightly bonded?
LDPE (low density polyethylene) is used for making plastic bags because it is appropriate and HDPE (High density.....) is not.
Is Bakelite thermoplastic or not?
Bake lite was meant to take low heat , like coffee pot handles, toaster handles etc. Regular plastic not so heat resistant .
What are the different types of plastics?
Types of plastic - polyethylene (HDPE or LDPE) found in plastic bags and shampoo bottles - polystyrene (PS) found in computer cases - polypropylene (PP) found in dishwasher safe containers - polyethylene terephthalate (PET) found in soda bottles - polyvinyl chloride (PVC) More generally speaking in engineering, plastics are divided into thermoplastic plastics and thermoset plastics These are based on their properties upon reheating after the plastic is molded. Thermoplastic plastics when heated will melt whereas thermoset plastics will not melt but only burn This is due to the way the branches of polymers coordinate. Thermoplastic plastics governed by largely van der waals forces. Thermoset plastics are crosslinked by covalent bonds
What is the melting temperature of polythene bag?
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), used for plastic storage bags, melts at about 110 degrees Celsius. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), used for supermarket plastic bags, melts at 130 degrees Celsius.
Why is polythene used to make bags?
Plastic bags can be made of different polymer types such as: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Linear low-density polyethylene Higher density polyethylene polymers have stronger cross-links for linking large chains to another which is usually how plastic bags are able to stretch more and can hold heavier objects. Hence being stronger.
Is expanded polystyrene a thermosetting or thermoforming plastic?
Polystyrene is a very poor conductor of heat. This is why its used as an insulator in some products.
Is low density a metal?
Low Density a Metal?NO!!!!
Why do silicates have low density?
why do silicate materials have low electron density
Does hydrogen have a low density?
Yes, hydrogen can be considered to have a low density. In fact, it is the least dense of all the elements.
Is sodium a high density or low density element?
Quite low density: 0.968 g·cm−3
What are low density floats?
low density~ being spread apart density~ being packed together
