The process of linking together molecules of the same substance is called "polymerization." In this process, small molecules known as monomers bond together to form larger, more complex structures called polymers. This can occur through various mechanisms, including addition or condensation reactions, depending on the types of monomers involved. Polymerization is fundamental in the formation of a wide range of materials, including plastics, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Linking bonds, most often dehydration reactions, where atoms/molecules are removed from certain ends of the monomers, forming an H2O molecule (water) and the monomers then join up. However, that is a general formula.
Organic molecules that are not built from repeating monomers typically include simple molecules like water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as complex molecules such as cholesterol and certain hormones. These molecules do not follow a polymerization process like monomers linking to form polymers.
Monomers are connected together to build a relatively complex (macro) molecule by polymerization reaction. Lets say proteins (polymer) for example are made by peptide bonds connected with "n" number of amino acids (monomers).
Biochemists would call the result of chaining many molecules together a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers. The process of linking monomers together is known as polymerization.

A polymer can be made up of thousands of monomer.This linking up of monomers is called polymerization

In a polymerization process, monomers are linked together by chemical bonds to form a polymer chain. This typically involves a reaction where the monomers undergo a series of steps to form polymer chains of various lengths. The process can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties depending on the monomers used and the polymerization conditions.
Alkene monomers join together through a process called polymerization, specifically in a reaction known as addition polymerization. This involves the breaking of the double bond in the alkene monomers and the formation of new single bonds between the carbon atoms, thus creating a chain-like structure known as a polymer. This reaction is typically catalyzed by a catalyst such as a transition metal complex.

The process of linking monomers to form a food chain is known as polymerization. This involves the chemical reaction that combines monomers to form larger molecular structures called polymers, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Yes. Think of beads on necklace chain; the beads (monomers) may be all the same .or may be different. It's the linking that makes it a "polymer"( many pieces ).
