Chain transfer reagent is
Options
- A( CCl ₄ )
- B( CH ₄ )
- C( O ₂ )
- D( H ₂ )
Correct answer
A. ( CCl ₄ )
Step-by-step solution
A substance that is able to cause a chain transfer in a chain polymerisation is called a chain transfer agent. It gives an atom to the radical at the growing end of a polymer chain and in doing so it results into a radical which can start the growth of a new chain. ( CCl ₄ ) is a chain transfer reagent.
