What is a acrylic polymer?
Acrylic polymers are compounds produced by bonding acrylic acid or acrylic ester with other molecules. Acrylic polymers utilize the desirable characteristics of acrylic acid and acrylic ester and are used in dispersants, thickeners, adhesives, binders, and paint vehicles.
What parts of atoms combine to form different compounds with different properties?
I think electron cloudElectrons, especially the valence electrons (in the outmost orbitals), are involved in bonding atoms to other atoms to form new molecules of different compounds.
Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?
No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
What are some of the most common plastic compounds?
Some of the most common plastic compounds include polymers made of chains of carbon atoms, or those with carbon and oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen. Other compounds include inorganic compounds such as Organotin compounds, which are tin linked to hydrocarbons.

Is plastic a polymer?
Plastics are polymers but not necessarily the other way round. DNA and other biological molecules are polymers but they are not plastics.

What do atoms form bonds to?
basically - other atoms. That is how molecules are formed and then complex molecules like proteins and polymers etc

Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Can molecules be divided into smaller parts called compounds?
Molecules are a form of compound, but yes depending on the molecule they can be broken down into other compounds.
What is the name of the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers?
The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers
Are all atoms made up of molecules which may combine to form elements?
No. Molecules are made of atoms, not the other way around. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
Lipids differ from other large biological molecules in that they?
Lipids are different from other macromolecules because they are hydrophobic and don't dissolve in water.
