Please help me with the question below. A detailed explanation to aid in understanding is welcome. Predict the order of reactivity (and justify your prediction): (a) in cationic polymerization: styrene, p-methoxystyrene, p-chlorostyrene, p-methylstyrene; (b) in anionic polymerization: styrene, 2-vinylpyri-dine, 3-vinylpyridine, 4-vinylpyridine.

In cationic polymerization, the order of reactivity is generally determined by the ability of the…

(a) Hard contact lenses, which first became popular in the 1960s, were made by polymerizing methyl methacrylate [CH; =C(CH,)CO,CH3] to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Draw the structure of PMMA. (b) More comfortable softer contact lenses introduced in the 1970s were made by polymerizing hydroxyethyl methacrylate [CH2=C{CH)CO,CH,CH2OH] to form poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly-HEMA). Draw the structure of poly-HEMA. Since neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.
