Polymers are the result of carbon-based covalent molecules forming long chains. The word should by now be unsurprising. Poly meaning many and mer, as in isomer, is a unit, thus many units. The formation of polymers (polymerisation) is the subject of the following types of reactions.

∙ 13y agoPolymers form by the combining of a large number of "monomer units". This can occur in two major ways, by addition polymerization or condensation polymerization.
Addition polymerization deals with monomers of the same type of functional group with at least one double or triple bond. Condensation is for monomers that are differing with at least two separate functional groups.

Macromolecule formed when monomers are joined together?
Polymers are the macromolecules formed when monomers join together.polymer
What are polymers containing up to 20 different kinds of?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
What when combined forms polymer?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.
How are polymers classified on the basis of structure?
Polymers are synthesized from monomer units and are composed of thousands of repeating chain units. The length and branching of these chains will help to determine the structural properties of the polymer Terry
Polymers are formed by hydrolysis?
Polymers, my good friend, are formed by condensation. Hydrolysis is when the polymers get taken apart.
Macromolecule formed when monomers are joined together?
Polymers are the macromolecules formed when monomers join together.polymer
What are polymers containing up to 20 different kinds of?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
When polymers chemically bond with other polymers this is called?
When covalent bonds are formed between polymers, this is called cross-linking
Polymers are formed by hydrolysis true or false?
This is for sure &*!@)!(@)!(@, this is because senior is too good for you.
What when combined forms polymer?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
What is a macromolocule formed when monomers join together?
polymers
Molecules formed by linking two or more monomers are?
polymers
What products are formed when starch based polymers decompose?
Co2+h2o
What is the long strands formed by joining small units?
Polymers, possibly.
What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.
What proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids. This term generally refers to chains longer than 50 amino acids, shorter chains are usually called polypeptides (or polypeptide chains).
