Question
Assertion: Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerisation.
Reason: Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/ persulphates.
Options
Assertion and reason both are correct statement but reason does not explain assertion.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explains the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are wrong statement.
Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement
Solution
Assertion and reason both are correct statement but reason does not explain assertion.
Explanation:
In addition, polymerisation, the molecules of the same monomer of different monomers add together on a large scale to form a polymer. The monomers used are unsaturated compounds, e.g., alkenes, alkadienes and their derivatives. This mode of polymerisation leading to an increase in chain length or chain growth can take place through the formation of either free radicals or ionic species.
