Question

C-0-CH,-CH,-CH2-CH2-04n
#10: Although many alkenes are readily polymerized by a free radical mechanism

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
