The Carbon atom usually forms the backbone of polymers and quite often oxygen can do also as in polyether polyols etc.

What is smallest to largest polymer monomer carbon atom and macromolecule?

The smallest unit is the carbon atom, followed by the monomer, which is a single repeating unit of a polymer. The macromolecule is the largest structure, made up of multiple monomers linked together to form a polymer chain.

Is methane a polymer?

No, Methane is not a polymer. Methane is a monomer. A Polymer consists of monomer units linked together with a series of covalent bonding. One of the best example for polymer is Polyethylene(PE).


What is the monomer structure for teflon?

The monomer structure for Teflon, which is a type of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is made up of repeating units of tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4) monomers. The structure consists of a carbon backbone with each carbon atom bonded to two fluorine atoms.


Connects monomers to form a polymer?

Monomers combine together to form a polymer by the addition of water. The H20 molecule connects to the end of a monomer and is connected to the other monomer by the oxygen atom. This ability allows monomers to join together to form long chains. Hope that helped, good luck!


What is a addition polymersation?

A polymer formed by the chain addition of unsaturated monomer molecules, such as olefins, with one another without the formation of a by-product as water or without the loss of any atom or molecule is called as an Addition Polymer.
