Answer:
Polymerization, any process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer. The monomer molecules may be all alike, or they may represent two, three, or more different compounds.

Answer:
Polymerisation
Polymerisation is the chemical process of monomers joining together to form polymers, often it takes many thousands of monomers to make a single polymer. 2 types of polymerisation reactions are listed below.
- Addition polymerisation- where monomers addon to each other with the addition of a catalyst, these are usually alkenes such as ethene and propene. Alkenes can act as monomers because they have a double bond.
- Condensation Polymerisation - This is when monomers join or polymerise with a byproduct such as water, carbon dioxide or ammonia. This usually requires two different types of monomers that join alternately.
