Chapter 7, Problem 7.109PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: When free radical polymerization occurs, how does the hybridization change the carbon atom involved should be explained.

Concept Introduction: Free radicals are the atoms or the molecules having an unpaired electron. These are symbolized by placing a dot on the right of the molecular formula or to the atomic symbol.

Free radical polymerization is defined as the polymerization in which successive addition of molecules takes place with the help of free radicals of the reactants. The free radical reaction, when methane reacts with chlorine molecule in the presence of sunlight is an example of free radical polymerization of methane.
