EXPLANATION:

A monomer is an organic molecular compound that can react with other molecules to form very large molecules. Monomers can form bonds with at least two other monomers.

This property of monomers helps them to form several polymeric compounds. Monomers can be natural or synthetic in origin. The bi-functional monomers can form linear and chain-like polymers. The monomers which have high functionality can be used to create complex polymers.
