Polymerization is the method of joining monomers together to form giant molecules known as polymers. This process involves linking smaller monomer units through chemical reactions to create long chains or networks of repeating units. Polyethylene and polystyrene are examples of polymers formed through polymerization.

What are polymers made from chemicals?

A polymer (a chemical term) is any material that is made up of repeating linked units (monomers). An example of a polymer is starch. It is made from linked units of Glucose (a sugar). Another example is plastics such as low density polyethylene made from linking repeating ethylene (a gas) units. Maybe a more familar example that is used around the house is when you repair your car with fiberglass. The liquid that is used to bond the fiberglass to the car and itself is styene monomer. When the catalyst is added to the styrene monomomer you are starting a chemical reaction that joins the monomers into very long polymers that cross link and form a hard polymer.


Do giant molecules have charged ions?

Yes, polyurethane dispersions are usually anionic and have very large molecular weights.


Is protein a small or large molecule?

A starch molecules is technically any polymer of sugar. These polysaccharides may be composed of as few as three sugar molecules and can stretch into the thousands and millions of sugar subunits in nature.


What does a septrograph do?

Spectrographs (assuming that's what you mean) are mostly used in astronomy. By analyzing the spectrum of radiation of a star, astronomers can learn how hot it is, and how much of it is composed of hydrogen, helium or other elements. For example, "red giant" stars are relatively cool enough for molecules to exist. The spectra of molecules have been detected in red giant stars.

Is hydrolysis the synthesis of giant molecules from components of repeating units?

No, hydrolysis is the breakdown of giant molecules into their component units by the addition of water molecules. The opposite process, where giant molecules are synthesized from repeating units, is known as condensation or dehydration synthesis.


What are Giant organic molecules made of small molecules linked together?

Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?

No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.

What is giant molecular crystal?

Giant molecular crystals are those in which a large number of atoms are covalently bonded to each other creating a network. There are four examples of molecules forming giant structures. They are silicon and two forms of carbon called diamond and graphite.
