Polymerization can occur by many methods. You can bridge polymer chains into a mesh-like network, you can elongate chains unit by unit or link chains together, and you can use non-covalent methods like ionic bonding or adding large side-groups/chains to increase entanglement of chains.

Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?

No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.


What very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules?

A very large organic compound made up of chains of smaller molecules is a polymer. Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating units of smaller molecules called monomers. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and synthetic plastics.


A Large compound formed by joining smaller compounds?

These are called polymers. They are made by a large number of monomers bond together. These polymers are macro molecules.


What they are called when large molecules are formed by monomers?
