← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a free radical interacts with polyunsaturated lipid orbitals?
A)Chain polymerization reaction propagation occurs✓
B)Resonance stabilization halts further reactions
C)Formation of a stable carbocation results
D)Hydrogen abstraction terminates electron pairing
💡 Explanation
Lipid peroxidation occurs because radical attack causes hydrogen abstraction; this triggers a chain propagation reaction. Therefore, polymerization happens, rather than immediate termination, because the newly formed radical will react with another lipid.
