The tendency of a polymer to crystallize decreases with increasing molecular weight because as

the chains become longer it is more difficult for all regions along adjacent chains to align so as to produce

the ordered atomic array.

State whether atactic polyvinyl chloride and isotactic polypropylene or not it is possible to determine whether one polymer is more likely to crystallize than the other?

Yes, it is possible to determine whether one polymer is more likely to crystallize than the other. Generally, isotactic polymers tend to have a higher tendency to crystallize compared to atactic polymers due to the regular arrangement of their side groups. So, in this case, isotactic polypropylene is more likely to crystallize than atactic polyvinyl chloride.

How is the tendency to gain electrons changes as you go down the 16th group of periodic table?

The tendency to gain electrons generally decreases as you go down the 16th group of the periodic table, also known as the chalcogens. This is due to the increasing atomic size and shielding effect of additional electron shells as you move down the group, which decreases the effective nuclear charge felt by the outermost electrons, making it more difficult to attract additional electrons.

As the difference in electronegativity between two atoms decreases the tendency for the formation of covalent bond?

As the difference in electronegativity between two atoms decreases, the tendency for the formation of a covalent bond increases. This is because covalent bonds are formed when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, allowing them to share electrons equally. If the electronegativity difference is too large, an ionic bond is more likely to form.


What is the reactivity of a metal as you move left to right in a period?

The reactivity of a metal decreases as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is because metals tend to lose electrons to form cations, and as you move to the right, the metals have a greater tendency to hold on to their electrons due to increasing nuclear charge and decreasing atomic size.
