Which consequence results when polyethylene's thermal degradation exceeds limit?

💡 Explanation

When polyethylene's degradation limit is exceeded, chain scission occurs because bonds break randomly throughout the polymer matrix; therefore, molecular weight decreases, rather than crosslinking because new bonds don't reliably form.
