I was told you need more info..... Like what? Either you guys dont know how to do it and telling me whatever or you dont know chemistry at all.... It's a normal product question.... what would the outcome of the product be... 

The image depicts a chemical reaction involving the polymerization of two vinyl monomers. 

On the left, the structure shows a vinyl group with two double-bonded carbon atoms, indicating a simple alkene. 

Next to it is another molecule, a vinyl bromide, which contains a vinyl group bonded to a bromine atom.

An arrow labeled “polymerize” points to the right, suggesting that these monomers are undergoing a polymerization reaction to form a polymer chain. 

This process involves linking the individual monomer units to create a larger, more complex molecular structure.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Addition polymerization

In addition polymerization, a free radical mechanism is followed to form the polymer. The free radical mechanism involves homolytic fission, where bond breaking takes place in the presence of light or heat, such that both the atoms forming the bond get one electron each.
