Draw mechanism (with electron pairs, flow of electrons, charges, and steps, where applicable) of radical polymerization of styrene initiated by nitrile type initiator (RN=NR) that consists of initiation (two steps), propagation, and two termination steps (when two chains undergo combination and disproportionation reactions) Im stuck on how to show the mechanism for the two termination steps

Propylene does not undergo free radical polymerization readily because there are two competing steps after initiation: propagation and hydrogen atom abstraction.(a) Using a generic radical R• as a reactant with propylene, draw the mechanism and products for the two competing steps.(b) Which step produces the more stable product?(c) How do your results explain propylene’s poor reactivity in free radical polymerization?
Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction as shown in Mechanism 28.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecular H abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups as branches.a.

Suggest a reason why the abstraction of this H is more facile than the abstraction of other H's.
