Assertion (A) Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerisation.
Reason (R) Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/persulphates.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statement But reason does not explain Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statement and Reason explains the Assertion.
(c) Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
(d) Assertion is correct statement and Reason is wrong statement.
(e) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.
Answer: (a). Assertion and reason both are correct but reason does not explain assertion.
Correct reason (R): Olefins like ethene undergo addition polymerization to give polymer like polythene.
Olefin monomers undergo addition polymerization because it adds on to other monomers of olefin through free radical mechanism due to the presence of peroxide initiator and double bond and products high molecular mass polymers.
