What are the three characteristic steps in a chain-reaction polymerization?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three characteristic steps in a chain-reaction polymerization are initiation, propagation, and termination. During initiation, a reactive species generates a free radical or anionic center. In propagation, the reactive site adds monomer units to the chain, causing it to grow. In termination, the chain reaction stops either by combination of two free radicals or disproportionation- one free radical abstract its hydrogen from another and the resulting monomer radical adds to the polymer chain. The correct answer is B- initiation, propagation, and termination.
