Explanation:
Polymer
Polymer is a high molecular mass macro-molecule consisting of repeating structural units derived from monomers. The molar mass of polymer is around 10

u.
There are strong covalent bonds which joints various monomer units in a polymer.
Examples of polymers include Rubber, polythene, Teflon and nylon 6,6.
Monomer
Monomer is a simple molecule capable of undergoing polymerization and leading to the formation of the corresponding polymer. Monomers are reactive molecules that combine with each other in large numbers through covalent bonds to form polymers.
Examples of monomers include ethene, propene, styrene and vinyl chloride.
Polymerization
In polymer chemistry, polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.[2][3][4] There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to categorize them.
