Which outcome occurs when misaligned polymerization creates branched polymer chains?

💡 Explanation

Bent geometry inhibits ordering; branching interferes with efficient packing during crystallization; *steric hindrance* arises because these substituent groups repel, therefore the material has low crystallinity. This weakens it, rather than increasing strength as the alternative may do.
