Many polymer are formed by the elimination of a water molecule when two monomers bond, thus it is referred to as dehydration.

What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymer apart by water?
Dehydration synthesis, also called condensation, is the type of reaction that builds polymers by removing water.
What is the reaction called that breaks the monomers apart called?
Decomposition is the process by which molecules are taken apart.
Is dehydration the chemical reaction to make a polymer?
Yes, monomers are connected by a reaction in which two molecules are covalently bonded to each other through loss of a water molecule; this is known as condensation reaction, specifically a dehydration reaction. There are other mechanisms and reactions to make polymers though. Dehydration is just one of them but not the only one. A poly-alcohol reacting with a poly-acid with removal of water (dehydration) will produce a polyester for example.
What mean polymerise?
Polymers are chemical substances which are made up from smaller units, called monomers. The reaction of joining these monomers to form this larger unit is called polymerisation. (monomers polymerise into polymers). The subunits, or polymers, are typical of the chemical substances. For example, the monomers of proteins are amino acids, monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. The reaction itself, by what these monomers are joining together, is a dehydration or condensation reaction.
Why is the process called dehydration reaction?
Two monomers are joined on a covalent bond and a molecule of water is released.

A dehydration reaction can also be called?
A dehydration reaction can be (and often is) called dehydration synthesis, as the process involves synthesizing large compounds from smaller ones by removing the water from them (hence the dehydra- )

Dehydration synthesis, also called condensation, is the type of reaction that builds polymers by removing water.
What is the chemical reaction by which monomers are linked together to form polymers?
This type of reaction is named polymerization.

Decomposition is the process by which molecules are taken apart.

When two sugars are combined a water molecule is lost This process is called?
Dehydration Synthesis, also called a condensation reaction, a dehydration reaction or just condensation.
How do polymers form?
monomers are the small atoms or molecules which joint covalently to form polymers,,,,,,,this process of polymer formation is called polymerizatin,,,,,,,,polymerization is of two types,,,,,1.addition polymerizatin2.condensation polymerization.
When monomers form to polymers what compound is removed?
In most biological polymers, it is water. This is called dehydration synthesis
What is the name of the process in which animo acids are bonded togeher to make proteins?
This process is called dehydration synthesis or a condensation reaction.

What molecule is liberated during a dehydration reaction?
H2O. That's why its called dehydration reaction
