Which consequence results when insufficient catalytic initiation occurs during chain-growth polymerization?

💡 Explanation

Lower molecular weight results because fewer active sites initiate chain propagation via the chain-growth Polymerization mechanism. Therefore, shorter chains form, rather than higher molecular weights, and different initiation mechanisms don't come into it, under standard conditions.
