Question

Define polymer and polymerisation in short ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Polymerization, any process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Polymerization is a process through which a large number of monomer molecules react together to form a polymer. The macromolecules produced from a polymerization may have a linear or a branched structure. They can also assume the shape of a complex, three-dimensional network. There exist several different categories of polymerization reactions, the most notable of which being step-growth polymerization, chain-growth polymerization (both of which fall under the category of addition polymerization), and condensation polymerization.
