Making addition polymers by radical polymerisation

The mechanism for addition polymerisation is another example of a radical reaction. Teflon (PTFE), famously known for its non-stick properties,

Photochemical smog is a brownish haze caused by the action of the sun’s visible and ultraviolet radiation on the primary

Alkanes are exceptionally boring and unreactive molecules chemically speaking but we can persuade them to react with halogens in the
