During addition polymerisation of ethene molecules, the initiator like benzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, terf-butyl peroxide, etc. are added. Their function is to:
- ensure anti-Markownikoff’s addition of molecules to form polymer
- give cations during the reaction which join to form bigger molecules
- decrease the temperature of the reaction mixture
- generate free radical which adds to the monomer to give bigger free radical
Answer
(D) generate free radical which adds to the monomer to give bigger free radical
