Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The random termination of chain growth due to free radical collisions
The uniform addition of monomers without any interruptions
The presence of only one type of initiator throughout the process
The constant temperature maintained during the reaction
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Free‑radical chains grow until two radicals meet and stop. Other options are incorrect because People think a chain keeps adding monomers one after another without stopping; Having only one kind of initiator does not guarantee equal chain lengths.

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.
