Why styrene undergoes and ionic polymerization at a faster rate than p methoxystyrene​

In styrene, there is a phenyl group which is electron-withdrawing. So the electronic density in the double bonds increases, hence easy to associate as monomers. While in methoxystyrene, there is a carbonyl group which is not electron deficient. so no easy association with monomers.

Explanation:

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
