Chapter 7.6, Problem 7.10P
Teflon-coated frying pans routinely endure temperatures that would cause polyethylene or polypropylene to oxidize and decompose. Decomposition of polyethylene is initiated by free-radical abstraction of a hydrogen atom by O2 Bond-dissociation energies of C—H bonds are about 400 kJ/mol, and C—F bonds are aboul 460 kJ/mol. The
