The macromolecules which consist of large number of repeating units are known as polymers. They have high molecular masses .Mostly they have organic origin i.e. they contain backbone chain of carbon atoms. E.g. Polythene, rubber, nylon etc.
MONOMERS
The repeating units of polymers are called monomers. They are linked together by covalent bond.E.g polythene is a polymer of ethene monomers.
POLYMERIZATION
The process of formation of polymers from monomers is known as polymerization.E.g. large number of ethene monomers undergoes polymerization to form polyethene.

ReplyDeletePolymers, any class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, are multiples of simple chemical units called monomers. Polymers make many materials in living organisms, for example, proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids. To learn chemistry effectively take note of new words, units of measure, general principles, and other concepts that arise. This will help you follow the thread of theory and strengthen the new information which will have positive consequences when faced with problem-solving. I hope this will help a lot of students. Thanks for sharing this information with us.
