a monomer
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.
A single repeated molecule in a polymer is known as a monomer. Monomers are small, simple molecules that can chemically bond with one another to form long chains, creating the larger, more complex structure of a polymer. For example, in polyethylene, the monomer is ethylene, which repeats to form the polymeric chain. The properties of the resulting polymer are influenced by the type and arrangement of its monomers.
Technically yes. It would have to be an extremely complex molecule with many chains of atoms. Usually a molecule remains small so that it can broken down and put back together easily. So a polymer of millions of molecules (which themselves contain many atoms) would qualify.
A polymer
a small molecule, such as water or an alcohol. This process involves the repeated condensation reaction of monomers, leading to the formation of a polymer chain and the release of the small molecule as a byproduct.

No. A monomer is a small molecule that may bind chemically to other monomers to form a polymer. It is the polymer that is the large molicule.
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.

No, insulin is a small protein hormone composed of two peptide chains. It is not a polymer.
