Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
It would produce a narrow molecular weight distribution.
It would result in a broad molecular weight distribution.
It would have no impact on the molecular weight distribution.
It would only affect the polymer architecture.
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Living polymerization stops no chain from ending early. Other options are incorrect because Some think living polymerization makes chains all over the place; It is easy to think living polymerization has no effect.

Definition
Polymerization mechanisms such as cationic, anionic, and free radical polymerization dictate how polymer chains grow by adding monomers together. These mechanisms involve initiators that induce chain growth through specific chemical reactions, leading to the formation of various types of polymers with distinct properties.
