Plastics are polymers of long carbon chains. They consist of very long molecules each composed of carbon atoms linked in chains. Fossil fuels contain hydrocarbons (compounds containing hydrogen and carbon), which provide the building blocks for long polymer molecules. These small building blocks, called monomers, link together to form long carbon chains called polymers.
These monomers can be linked in linear manner to form linear polymers and linked cross linked manner to form cross linked polymers
