Polybutylene is typically made through polymerization of butene or butadiene monomers. These monomers are chemically bonded together in a repeating pattern to form a long chain polymer called polybutylene. The process usually involves high pressures and temperatures, along with catalysts to control the reaction.
monomer
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides

Polybutylene pipes can be identified by their gray color and flexible, plastic-like material. They were commonly used in plumbing systems in the 1970s to 1990s. If you suspect you have polybutylene pipes, you can hire a professional plumber to inspect your plumbing system for confirmation.
Its not bad as long as they are not leaking. Unfortunately polybutylene pipes have the best chance to start leaking at some point and it can be costly to repair.

The price of a polybutylene pipe will depend on how big it is, if it has any alloys in it, and how long it is. Without this information, it is near impossible to give a quote on price.
Polybutylene pipe is a discontinued pipe.

monomer
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
Teflon is polytetrafluoroethylene, so the monomer is tetrafluoroethylene.
I would say a form of pex plumbing
As I understand it polybutylene hasn't been removed from the formal plumbing code, however the sale of polybutylene was quickly phased out in or around 1995 which is when the major class action lawsuit (Cox v Shell Oil) was settled for just shy of a billion dollars. As you likely know there have been countless problems with all variations of polybutylene pipes and associated fittings, and although it's still listed in the code, consumers should not consider this an endorsement of quality or performance.
