Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.27P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The fish-hook curved-arrow notation to derive the missing resonance structure is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Resonance is the phenomena of the delocalization of pi electrons to give extra stability to the molecule. This extra stability comes from the distribution of the energy of the molecule in the resonance structures formed.

Interpretation Introduction
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason behind the fact that diene part of the polymer has mostly trans double bond stereochemistry is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The co-polymer is the polymer obtained by the polymerization of two or more different monomer units. The copolymers are usually formed by the condensation polymerization. Some examples of copolymers are nylon and polyethylene.

(a) What is the difference between an addition polymer and a condensation polymer?(b) PVC or poly(vinyl chloride) is an addition polymer prepared by a chain of radical addition steps. Show mechanism for the propagation step (with curved single-barb arrows) for a single radical addition step, using the radicals shown, then draw the radical product. Note that the addition occurs so as to place the radical onto the CH2.
(a) Compare the characteristic features of polymerization by step-growth and chain-
growth mechanisms.
(b) Many alkene monomers (olefins) are readily polymerized by a free-radical
mechanism. However, isobutylene is usually polymerized by a cationic
mechanism. Explain.
(b) Compare combustion of Anthracene and Xylene in sufficient supply of
air. Which one will produce more carbon rich sooty flame and why?
