Question

Define polymer, monomer, polymerisation,​

Answer 1

Answer:

monomer is a type of molecule that has the ability to chemically bond with other molecules in a long chain; a polymer is a chain of an unspecified number of monomers. Essentially, monomers are the building blocks of polymers, which are more complex type of molecules.

The process by which monomers are transformed into a polymer is called polymerisation. For example ethylene polymerizes to form polyethylene.
