Which outcome occurs during the vulcanization of rubber with sulfur?

💡 Explanation

When rubber is vulcanized with sulfur, sulfur atoms form covalent crosslinks between the polymer chains because the sulfur atoms react at sites of unsaturation, greatly increasing strength and elasticity. Therefore crosslinking of polymer chains increases, rather than crystallization, chain scission, or oxidation, which depend on different chemical conditions.
