What do the backbones of some compounds have hundreds or thousands of?

You are probably thinking of hydrocarbon polymers such as polythene, which can have a backbone of about 20,000 carbon atoms, with some forms that are even longer. However the biggest polymers are the biological ones whose structures are more complex, having chains based on carbon but with other elements too. An example would be a protein which basically consists of many linked amino acids. Each segment has a carbon chain, but they are linked by nitrogens and oxygens,

Elements are the basic building blocks of matter how is it possible that there are hundreds of thousands of different kinds of matter when there are just 112 elements?
There are just 10 digits and they can make up an infinity of numbers. There are only 26 letters of the [Roman] alphabet, but there are hundreds of thousands of words. So this should not even be a question!Elements combine with one another to form compounds whose properties are quite unrelated to the separate elements or to other compounds formed from the same basic elements. Just think of the range of different compounds made from carbon and hydrogen.Also, technically there are now 118 elements though some are too short lived and unstable to form compounds.

If you say hundreds and also thousands what do you say when it comes to a number below 100?
You could say "dozens" for some number between 12 and maybe 48. You could try "scores" for numbers like 10,20,30... And while 'hundreds' or 'thousands' would be menat to imply some large number that you aren't sure of - IE "there are thousands of them" - you might say "there are like 56 of them"
