Which outcome occurs when tensile stress initiates backbone unraveling in polyethylyne molecules?

💡 Explanation

Increased radical chain scission occurs through homolytic cleavage. The applied stress breaks the backbone covalent bonds initiating the **radical mechanism** because of the lowered activation energy required, therefore causing chain scission, rather than just bond stretching or overall fracture.
