Chapter 28.2, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason as to why styrene (CH2=CHPh) can be polymerized to polystyrene by all three methods of chain-growth polymerization is to be explained.

Concept introduction: The simpler units which combine to form polymers are known as monomers. The process by which respective monomers combine to form polymers is known as polymerization.

Chain-growth polymerization is formed by the repetitive addition of monomer units containing double or triple bonds. If the monomer units undergoing addition are the same, the polymer is known as homopolymer.
