chem exam

Ques 4 (e) II) Briefly describe how this polymer could be formed, assuming the inital radical is R.

My Ans:
Firstly the momnomer has the radical R a the ends. so by some form of warped witch doctor magic, the R is removed. Maybe due to the fact that it got eaten by some hyperactive compound that likes to eat radicals. In any case, the radical got eaten. So no more radical , and no more hyperactive-hungry compounds. The radical was therefore "freed" from captivity and ran off shouting "i'm free !! i'm freeeee!!" Thus the name of the free radical

The story continues, since the radical got eaten, the monomer becomes a.. monome. Since effectively the R is gone. The monome decides that it is outnumbered by the vicious angry-hyperactive-radical-eating compunds, so they all join up to form this long thing called polymers.
(which after much disscusion was decided upon as a name for the union they formed.)

ok. my 4 marks worth. =)i'm so gonna do well for my chem soo well.
