The reaction that breaks the bonds between atoms within a polymer chain is called "scission". The bonds between chains of monomers, if they exist at all, are not chemical bonds and are broken by thermal motion.
*****It is actually called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is separated into two parts by adding a molecule of water.****

What is the name of the mechanical process that's breaks up food in the stomach?
The name of the mechanical process that breaks up food in the stomach is known as peristalsis. During peristalsis, the muscles of the digestive system contract and relax, moving food along the gastrointestinal tract.

What is polymerize?
a polymer is a plastic. a monomer is a chain of molecules which are alkenes as they have a double covalent bond in them. This monomer is then heated and the double covalent bonds break and join with others to make a longer chain of molecules. this is a polymer-plastic. to find out the name of a polymer add poly to the name of the monomer e.g. ethene is a monomer and when it is heated it makes polyethene which is a plastic.
