How polymer become a polymer?

Answer 1

Polymer means many monomers. Sometimes polymers are also known as macromolecules or large-sized molecules. Usually, polymers are organic (but not necessarily).

A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.

Here is a monomer:

Here is a polymer:

A polymer can be made up of thousands of monomer.

This linking up of monomers is called polymerization

Answer 2

Polymers are formed when small molecules, called monomers, chemically bond together to create long chains or networks. This process, known as polymerization, can be initiated by heat, light, or chemical catalysts. As the monomers bond together, they form repeating units that make up the polymer structure.
