Answer:

Monomers are the building units of polymers.

Polymers are a class of synthetic substances composed of multiples of simpler units called monomers.

The monomer of Teflon is  Tetrafluoroethylene and the monomer of cellulose is   β-glycose

Answer:

A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits. Due to their broad spectrum of properties, both synthetic and natural polymers play essential and ubiquitous roles in everyday life.

A monomer is a molecule that can be reacted together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization

EXAMPLE:

The monomer of teflon is Tetrafluoroethylene.Teflon is a polymer, which is made by joining together lots of smaller molecules called monomers. In this case, the monomer is tetrafluoroethene (TFE), and when polymerised it becomes poly-TFE, or PTFE.

Beta glucose is the monomer unit in cellulose. As a result of the bond angles in the beta acetal linkage, cellulose is mostly a linear chain. Starch: Alpha glucose is the monomer unit in starch.
