Which outcome results when excessive molecular vibration occurs within polyethylene?

💡 Explanation

Increased material thermal expansion results because excessive molecular vibration overcomes intermolecular forces, increasing the average separation distance; this is the process of thermal expansion rather than chain alignment because polymer chains lose overall coherence due increased kinetic energy.
