Explanation:

A polymer is like a thread joins many coins punched through the center, in the end we get a string of coins, the coins would be the monomers, and the chain with the coins would be the polymer.

The basic part of a polymer are the monomers, the monomers are the chemical units that are repeated throughout the chain of a polymer, eg polyethylene monomer is ethylene, which is repeated x times along throughout the chain.

Depending on the repetition or variety of monomers, polymers are classified as:

Homopolymer - It is called when the polymer formed by the same monomer throughout its chain.

Copolymer - It is called when the polymer formed by at least 2 different monomers along the entire chain.
