(a)Why is the purest monomer used in free radical polymerisation? (b).How does the presence ofCCl_(4)orCBr_(4)influence the course of vinylic free radical polymersation. (c )what is the monomer of the polymer given below: (d)Why does hole develope in nylon stocking when adrop ofHClis added to it?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Trace of impurities present in alkene ,onomer can act as either chain transfer agents RO inhibitors,If it acts as a chain transfer AGENT,then lower-average -molecular-mass polymer is formed.If it acts as an INHIBITOR,the process of POLUMERISATION is inhibited .Hence ,the pureset monomer us uded to avoid these processes.
(b)In vinylic polymerisation`,CCl_(4)`and`CBr_(4)`acts as chain transfer agents.i.e.,it reacts eith thr growing chain to interrupt its further growth and initiat eits chain growth (i.e, produces a new radical).
The monomer is(ethylene or acidic hydrolysis of oxirane),
(d).This is due to the breaking or acidic hydroysis of amide bond present in nylon.
