← ScienceWhich outcome slows polymer chain propagation under monomer depletion?
A)Reduced collision frequency of propagation reaction✓
B)Increased termination due to biradicals
C)Enhanced energy transfer from monomers
D)Lowered reaction order for initiation
💡 Explanation
The reaction rate decreases because the mass action law results in rate being proportional to monomer concentration through the Arrhenius equation; therefore lower concentration reduces the probability *bimolecular collision*, rather than changing reaction order at initiation.
