(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the given reaction has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The
- 1. Chain initiation
- 2. Chain propagation and
- 3. Chain termination.
Chain initiation occurs by the formation of radical from one of the monomer units. Propagation occurs by the reaction of the radicals with molecules. Chain termination occurs by neutralization of radicals.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the formation of poly(styrene) from styrene has to be given and at which end of the styrene double bond, the
Concept Introduction:
The polymers are formed from the repetition monomer units. The polymerization process occurs in three steps.
- 1. Chain initiation
- 2. Chain propagation and
- 3. Chain termination.
Chain initiation occurs by the formation of radical from one of the monomer units. Propagation occurs by the reaction of the radicals with molecules. Chain termination occurs by neutralization of radicals.
