Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mechanism for branching in free radical polymerisation of styrene is to be shown and the type of aliphatic hydrogen which is most likely to be abstracted is to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Free radical polymerisation is the polymerisation in which polymer forms through free radical mechanism in which electrons are equally distributed between both atoms involved in bonding. Styrene polymerises via free radical polymerisation in the presence of benzoyl peroxide.

To determine: The mechanism of the given reaction; also the type of hydrogen which is most likely to be abstracted in the given reaction.
