Which mechanism limits chain propagation rate for linear polyethylene production with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst?

💡 Explanation

Steric hindrance limits chain propagation because bulky catalyst ligands near the active site inhibit monomer insertion, therefore lowering reaction rate, rather than termination events controlling polymer molecular weight predominantly.
