The shape a polymer molecule assumes in solution depends on the polymer-solvent combination, the polymer architecture, chemical groups along the backbone of the polymer chain, the polymer molecular weight, the temperature of the solution, the concentration/viscosity of the solution, the prescence of ions and if the solution is in a static or dynamic state e.g. under shear or in an electric field. This shape could be straight or random coil. The volume the shape assumes may be big or small (depending on the above mentioned parameters) and is more commonly referred to as the hydrodynamic volume. The hydrodynamic volume is used to study the molecular weight of polymers using a technique called size exclusion chromatography.
Rubber is a polymer made up of long molecular chains. These chains are entangled with each other, giving rubber its elastic properties. When a tire is manufactured, it is formed from a single piece of rubber that has been molded and cured into its final shape, resulting in the appearance of having a single large molecule.
Carbon atom, Monomer, Polymer, Macromolecule
A chain molecule is made up of repeated units called monomers that are covalently bonded together to form a polymer. The repetitive units provide the polymer with its unique physical and chemical properties, making it a versatile material for various applications.
a small molecule, such as water or an alcohol. This process involves the repeated condensation reaction of monomers, leading to the formation of a polymer chain and the release of the small molecule as a byproduct.
A polymer is a type of molecule that is defined as a chain of repeating copies of smaller molecules called monomers. Polymers can be natural or synthetic and have a wide range of properties and uses. Examples of polymers include plastics, proteins, and DNA.
A polymer molecule is a macromolecule.
A molecule made of many repeating parts is known as a polymer.

Carbohydrate
During the construction of a polymer, a molecule of water is typically released in a process called dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction. This reaction links monomer units together to form a polymer chain by removing a water molecule for each bond formed between the monomers.

C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
Monomer is the term used to describe the individual molecule that links together to form a polymer chain.
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.
