When monomers join together to form a polymer a molecule of what is given off?

It depends because sometimes (the majority) nothing is given off. When ethylene, propylene and other molecules with the general structure WXC=CYZ polymerize, they just add together and no molecule is given off.
In a condensation reaction e.g when a polyacid reacts with a polyol, a polyester is formed and water is the molecule given off. With certain types of Nylon production, if one monomer is hexamethylene diamine and the other is sebacoyl chloride, the molecule given off is hydrochloric acid. If caustic soda is present this will convert to salt and water.

Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
