Concept introduction: The chain growth
(b)
To determine: The first three steps in the
Interpretation: The first three steps in the
Concept introduction: The chain growth polymerization that includes a cation that provides a charge to a monomer unit is known as cationic polymerization. The monomer unit becomes reactive after the transference of a charge from this cationic species. One of the most popular Lewis acid is

The following reaction scheme shows the radical polymerization of styrene to make polystyrene. a) Add electron-pushing arrows to show the mechanisms of steps 1-3. Determine if these are initiation, propagation, or termination steps. b) Radical polymerization is often performed in the absence of O2 because the oxygen radical can couple with the polymer radical to terminate polymerization. Propose electron-pushing arrows for step 4 and predict the product of that step. 1 hv 3 BzO Bzof *0-0° step 3 keeps happening until a termination step 4 OCcurs 2.arrow_forward11-15.
