The bonds it that picture that are drawn like this:
___....___
between the repeating units should be solid bonds. Apart from that, fine.

ahh thanks....
one more question, when you add benzoyl peroxide and methyl methacrylate what does it make?
can you briefly write the equation for me please..

Take a look at the benzoyl peroxide structure. What happens is that the oxyngen-oxygen bond easily breaks and free radicals are generated. these free radicals attach themselves to the double bond carbon-carbon in your monomer starting chain reaction. Thus - assuming that initiator has formula A-A and your monomer is M what you will get is A-(M)
n
-A molecule.

oky cool,
now i dont know which way to write this all down. because the question is asking: show using equations the reactions which occur?
does that mean i write it down in its structural form or the other way. (i dont know whats it called)

There are three phases: inititaion, polymerization, ending. First one is two step (peroxide decomposition and attack on the first monomer). You should be able to write all reactions now.

ohh i see, ive got an idea now:
so like the 1st step is initiation
2nd propagation
3rd termination
are these the three steps?

Yes. Don't bother with my nomenclature

oky, thanks 4 ya help..
ive got another question....
Q- give 2 reasons why suspension polymerisation is used instead of bulk polymerisation?
ive looked in the book that ive got, but its not in there...

Think about the heat of reaction and what might happen.

erm will it get extremely hot?
i was thinking in the lines of it being:
-cheaper
-environmentally friendly
-more active sites available therefore the reagent made more efficiently due to it increasing the rate of reaction....
i duno if thats correct...

Is reaction kinetic temperature dependent?
