A polymer consists of repeated, linked units. The units may be identical or structurally related to each other. Monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called a condensation reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What forms a polymer when two or more join together?
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.
What when combined forms polymer?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
Which polymer exists in both synthetic and natural forms?
Polyethylene is a polymer that exists in both synthetic forms, widely used in plastic manufacturing, and natural forms, found in plants and trees as a waxy coating.
What is a small molecule that forms a link in polymer chains?
a monomer
Is biomolecule the building block of carbohydrates?
No. A biomolecule is many building blocks bonded together to form a polymer. The building blocks of any polymer are called monomers. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, which forms the polymer polysaccharide.
Is alanine a type of polymer that forms a polypeptide?
No, alanine, which is an amino acid, is a type of monomerthat can form a polypeptide. The individual units are monomers, the long chain is a polymer.
What is the roll of borax in making the polymer?
Borax plays the role of a cross-linking agent in making polymer slime. It forms cross-links between the polymer chains, which helps to give the slime its unique stretchy and squishy properties.
Is protein a synthetic polymer?
No. it is not synthetic. I am however quite certain it is possible to synthesize some forms of proteins.
What kind of atom forms the backbone of monomer and a polymer?
The Carbon atom usually forms the backbone of polymers and quite often oxygen can do also as in polyether polyols etc.
What is a neat polymer?
One example of a neat polymer is polyethylene. Neat polymers are pure forms of a polymer without any additives or fillers. This allows for studying the intrinsic properties and behavior of the polymer.
Is a diamond a polymer?
polymer
How did polyethylene form?
It forms through addition polymerisation. The double bonds in ethene break to form a long continuous chain ( a polymer) which is polyethylene.
