Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Butadiene is a conjugated diene and its free radical polymerisation can occur in two ways:
(i) When the polymerisation takes place at `C_(1)` and `C_(4)` of butadiene, an unbranched polymer results. It can exist either as trans-polybutadiene or as cis isomer or as the mixture of both

(ii) 1, 3 butadiene can also undergo polymerisation at `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` to give polyvinyl polyethene as the product.
