Polymerization of 1 3 -hexadiene can yield in either cis (Z) or trans (E) polymer.on the other hand the polymerization of 1 4 -hexadiene will not have any isomer.Why?

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
