Wu · Answer 1

b) False

Explanation:

Higher molecular weight will increase the mechanical properties because if molecular weight is more then it will require more energy break the molecule. It means that mechanical properties is also improve.

Higher molecular weight will also improve the resistance to corrosion and reduce the chances of material from oxidation.

Higher molecular weight will also increase the viscosity of material and reduce the fluidity.
