Which type of polymerization process is typically initiated by a free radical?
A
Addition Polymerization
B
Condensation Polymerization
C
Ionic Polymerization
D
Ring-Opening Polymerization
correct option: a
Addition polymerization is typically initiated by a free radical, which is a highly reactive species with an unpaired electron. This radical initiates the polymerization process by attacking a monomer and initiating chain growth through repeated addition of monomers.
