← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when molecular orbitals hybridize improperly during radical polymerization?
A)Chain termination increases drastically✓
B)Glass transition temperature elevates slightly
C)Polymer dispersity becomes exceedingly uniform
D)Crystallinity decreases significantly overall
💡 Explanation
Increased chain termination occurs when unpaired electrons disproportionate due to flawed **orbital hybridization**, leading to unstable chain ends; creating termination events in chain propagation because it favors recombination rather than continued monomer addition, therefore favoring early termination rather than extended chain growth.
