Question

Explain the terms of monomer and polymer

Answer 1

Fibres are chemical substances that are made up of molecules called polymer
the smaller basic molecules in a polymer of fibre are called monomers

Answer 2

Answer:

Polymers are high molecular mass macromolecules composed of repeating structural units derived from monomers.

Polymers have a high molecular mass (103 − 107 u).

In a polymer, various monomer units are joined by strong covalent bonds. Polymers can be natural as well as synthetic.

Polythene, rubber, and nylon 6, 6 are examples of polymers.

Monomers are simple, reactive molecules that combine with each other in large numbers through covalent bonds to give rise to polymers.

For example, ethene, propene, styrene, vinyl chloride.
