The disclosure provides an ethylene copolymer having a density of from 0.912 g/cm.sup.3 to 0.925 g/cm.sup.3, a melt flow ratio (I.sub.21/I.sub.2) of from 20 to 30, and a normal comonomer distribution profile in a GPC-FTIR analysis, wherein the normal comonomer distribution profile has a slope of from −3.5 to −7.5, where the slope is defined as the number of short chain branches per 1000 carbons at a molecular weight of 300,000 minus the number of short chain branches per 1000 carbons at a molecular weight of 30,000. The ethylene copolymers have improved bulk density and when made into film, provide good physical properties.

The present invention provides an adhesive composition including an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer; and a tackifier, wherein the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer has narrow molecular weight distribution together with a low density and an ultra low molecular weight, minimized number of unsaturated functional groups, and particularly a small amount of vinylidene among the unsaturated functional groups, thereby showing excellent physical properties.

A catalyst component made from or containing Ti, Mg, chlorine, an amount of a first internal donor selected from esters of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids (EAA), and an amount of a second internal donor selected from cyclic ethers (CE), wherein the EAA/CE molar ratio ranges from 0.02 to less than 20.
