7cd (JUST SIMPLY ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW) 1. Why are olefins (alkanes) good monomers for polymerization reaction?   2. "Co-polymers" consist of two different monomers ("A" and "B") joined in an alternating fashion (ABABAB...). Block co-polymers also consist of two different monomers, but in this case, blocks of polymer containing only A units are joined to blocks of polymer containing only B units (AAAAABBBBB...). How block co-polymers are synthesized?
