Question

Reactions designed to produce these molecules can exhibit a dangerous thermal runaway (-5[1])in autoacceleration. Titanium or aluminum-based catalysts (10[1])for making these molecules can (10[1])control whether they are isotactic (10[1])(“eye-so-tactic”), syndiotactic (10[3])(“sin-dee-oh-tactic”), or atactic (“ay-tactic”). These molecules (10[1])have their dispersity (10[1])index measured with dynamic light scattering. (-5[1])These (-5[1])molecules are the targeted product (-5[1])of reactions that contain initiation, (10[2])propagation, (10[2]-5[1])and (10[1])termination (10[3]0[1]-5[4])steps, (10[9]-5[1])and (10[1])proceed (-5[1])in a “chain-growth” (10[1])manner. (10[2]0[1]-5[4])Common examples (10[1])of these molecules (-5[1])used in clothing include Teflon (10[3])and nylon. (10[7]-5[4])For (10[1])10 points, (10[2])name these (-5[1])macromolecules (10[1])that (10[1])consist of many repeating (10[1])monomers. (10[5])■END■ (10[8]0[5])
