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.
polythene is cheapest form of polymer
by adding monomers to create a polymer, at a certain time, a polymer becomes a macromolecule
No.
The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.
It is NOT a polymer, just carbon in solid form.
The process is called polymerization. It involves the chemical reaction where monomers are combined to form a polymer through the formation of covalent bonds.
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer

In a polymerization process, monomers are linked together by chemical bonds to form a polymer chain. This typically involves a reaction where the monomers undergo a series of steps to form polymer chains of various lengths. The process can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties depending on the monomers used and the polymerization conditions.
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
The polymer must form bonds with the object if it is to stick to it. If the number of bonds between the polymer chains increases, the number of bonds they share with other objects will probably decrease, making it less sticky.
There are no synonyms for a monomer, it can combine with other molecules to form a polymer, but even polymer is not synonymous...
