Answer #1

termination by coupling is possible in free radical polymerization.

In cationic and anionic, termination by coupling is not possible because in coupling two or more species of same kind having same charge, electron etc. couple.

thus coupling termination is not possible in cationic and anionic, because same charges repel each other.
