long change of repeating units (monomer) is called as polymer
monomer is the repeating units in a polymer
e.g.,
polymer= polythene
Monomer=ethene

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.
