A
further substitution
substitution at different positions along chain
2
Q
explain what is meant by the term sigma bond
A
overlap of orbitals between atoms
3
Q
explain what is meant by the term pi bond
A
sideways overlap of p orbitals
4
Q
the boiling point of an addition polymer can be increased by increasing the number of repeating units
explain this statement
A
more points of contact/ more surface interaction
more London forces
more energy needed to break the intermolecular forces
5
Q
explain why this mechanism involves heterolytic fission
A
one atom receives both electrons
breaking of a covalent bond
