Which best explains the difference between a monomer and a polymer?

Answer 1

A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.

Answer 2

A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight.

Answer 3

A monomer is a single, small molecule that can bond with other monomers to form a larger molecule called a polymer. Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers linked together through chemical bonds. Essentially, monomers are the building blocks of polymers.

Answer 4

Monomer has one molecule and a polymer has many molecules linkied together as a chain.

Monomer has a low molecular mass and a polymer has a high molecular mass.

Answer 5

monomer is nothing but the smallest unit. by combining several monomer we prepare a polymer.

Answer 6

Polymers are formed from monomers; the monomer is the elementary unit in polymers.

Answer 7

A polymer contain a chain of monomers.
