D
Radical polymerization
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the typical reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. These include nucleophilic substitution, electrophilic addition, and radical polymerization.
Understand that nucleophilic substitution involves a nucleophile replacing a leaving group in a molecule, often seen in reactions of alkyl halides.
Recognize that electrophilic addition is a reaction where an electrophile adds to a double or triple bond, common in reactions involving alkenes and alkynes.
Know that radical polymerization is a chain reaction mechanism where radicals are used to initiate the polymerization of monomers, often seen in the formation of polymers.
Realize that protein denaturation is not a reaction mechanism in organic chemistry but rather a process where proteins lose their structure due to external stress, such as heat or pH changes, and is more related to biochemistry.
