Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In styrene, an electron withdrawing phenyl group is present. As a result, the nucleophile or anionic attack can easily take place leading to anionic polymerisation

In cationic polymerizalion, the initiator is an electrophile that adds to the alkene, causing it to become a cation. The Initiator most often used in cationic polymerization is a lewis acid. Such as BF_(3) or AICI_(3) and in anionic polymerization, the iniliator is a nucleophile that reacts with the alkene to form a propagating site that is an anion.
