Which risk increases when raising the reaction temperature of butadiene polymerization?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperatures give reactants more energy promoting faster reactions, thus generating significant unwanted chain branching. Because chain addition occurs at a much greater rate, polymerization creates structural isomers rather than desired straight chains.
