(a)
Interpretation:
Monomer shown here can undergo free radical
Concept introduction:
The first step of free radical polymerization is initiation. Homolysis of benzoyl peroxide takes place in the first step. Benzoyl peroxide is used as a radical initiator. Homolysis of benzoyl peroxide is further promoted by the additional resonance stabilization in the resulting radical. After initiation, propagation occurs via radical addition. In first step propagation, the initial radical adds to the C=C bond of the monomer giving a new radical. The new radical reacts with the other molecule of monomer in the second propagation. From the growing polymer chain, one can identify the structural pattern that is repeated which is the condensed formula showing repeating unit. The name of the polymer is written by writing poly followed by the monomer’s name, and we can enclose the monomer’s name in parenthesis as it consists of two or more words.
