Teflon is a compound that we call a polymer. These polymers are small repeating units that all look the same, but thousands combine together to form long chains. The scientific name for teflon is Polytetrafluoroethylene. This simply means in plain English many units of 2 carbons and 4 fluorines. One unit would look something like:
F F
| |
CC
| |
F F
and this unit is repeated many thousands of times to form the long chains of the polymer. The single unit is called a monomer.
