### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Copolymerization**: - Copolymerization is the process of polymer formation that involves two or more different types of monomers. When these monomers chemically react and combine, they form a larger molecule known as a copolymer. 2. **Understanding Copolymers**: - A copolymer is a type of polymer that is made from two or more different monomer units. This results in a polymer that has properties distinct from those of the individual homopolymers made from each monomer alone. ...
