Study Notes
Polymers and Monomers
- A polymer is a large molecule composed of many smaller molecules, called monomers, bonded together.
- A monomer is a small molecule that can react with other monomers to form a polymer.
- Polymerization is the process by which monomers are linked together to form a polymer.
Polymer Formation
- Polymerization involves a chemical reaction that creates strong covalent bonds between monomers, resulting in a large polymer molecule.
