(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The following group of monomers should be ranked from most able to least able to undergo cationic polymerization.

Concept Introduction:

Cationic polymerization:

  • The polymerization in which an electrophile acts as an initiator and adds to the monomer which leads to the formation of a carbocation.
  • The initiator widely used is a Lewis acid and in the polymerization the electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most hydrogens.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Cationic polymerization:

The polymerization in which an electrophile acts as an initiator and adds to the monomer which leads to the formation of a carbocation.

The initiator widely used is a Lewis acid and in the polymerization the electrophile adds to the sp2 carbon bonded to the most number of hydrogens.

Rank the following groups of monomers from most able to least able to undergo anionic polymerization
List the following group of monomers in order of decreasing ability to undergo cationic polymerization.
When certain cycloalkenes are used in metathesis reactions, ringopening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) occurs to form a highmolecular- weight polymer, as shown with cyclopentene as the starting material. The reaction is driven to completion by relief of strain in the cycloalkene.What products are formed by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of each alkene?
