Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
Cationic polymerization
Anionic polymerization
Free radical polymerization
Step-growth polymerization
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Anionic polymerization starts with a stable negative charge that adds monomers one by one. Other options are incorrect because Cationic polymerization uses a positive charge that can change shape or jump; Free radical polymerization uses highly reactive radicals that hop between chains.

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.
