General-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is brittle primarily due to its amorphous structure, which lacks the crystalline regions that provide toughness and flexibility. The polymer chains in GPPS are tightly packed and have limited mobility, making it prone to cracking under stress or impact. Additionally, its low glass transition temperature means that it remains rigid and does not deform easily, further contributing to its brittleness. As a result, GPPS is not suitable for applications requiring high impact resistance.

Is a brittle compound a molecular compound?
No, a brittle compound does not necessarily indicate it is a molecular compound. Brittle compounds can be either molecular or ionic, depending on their chemical bonding. Brittle molecular compounds typically have covalent bonds, while brittle ionic compounds have ionic bonds.

Does polystyrene exhibit yielding?
No, pure Polystyrene (PS) is quite brittle; hence, General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) does not yield. It breaks right after passing over its limit. However, the weakness of polystyrene, which is brittleness, is overcome when it is made into High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). Having a higher breaking strain after polymerization, it is able to yield before breaking. Thus, from this tensile testing experiment, GPPS does not have yield strength, while HIPS has yield strength of 26.175N/mm2.
