Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer compositions including a polyethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer, where the polyethylene is from 70 wt % to 100 wt % of the interpolymer composition based on a total weight of the interpolymer composition and the interpolymer composition is characterized by a Comonomer Distribution Constant (CDC) in a range of from 100 to 500, a vinyl unsaturation of less than 0.15 vinyls per one thousand total carbon atoms present in the interpolymer composition, a zero shear viscosity ratio (ZSVR) in a range from 1.5 to 5, a density in a range of from 0.903 to 0.950 g/cm3, a melt index (I2) in a range of from 0.1 to 15 g/10 minutes, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in a range of from 1.8 to 4.5, and a separation index of from 0.50 to 1.10.
