Chapter 28, Problem 60P

Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular Habstraction as shown in Mechanism 30.2, chain branching can also occur by intramolecularH abstraction to form branched polyethylene that contains butyl groups asbranches.

Chapter 28, Problem 60P, 30.59 Although chain branching in radical polymerizations can occur by intermolecular H abstraction

a. Draw a stepwise mechanism that illustrates which H must be intramolecularly abstracted to form butyl substituents.

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

Which of the following molecules can be used as a monomer to generate this polymer? So the answer's B... im having quite the trouble understanding where in the polymer the double bond broke. Could someone explain and draw in EXTREME details how the answer's B and not any other answer choice?
1.- How does the molecular weight change vs % conversion in a step polymerization? Explain this behavior and why does it occur?    2.- Name at least 3 requirements for obtaining a high molecular weight polymer by step polymerization.    3.- How can you minimize cyclization reactions in a step polymerization? Explain with equations and narrative Why do you want to minimize cyclization? Is it possible to eliminate cyclic products completely?
