Explain the terms polymer and monomer.

Explanation

Polymer is defined as very. large molecules having high molecular mass '^circ(10^i-10^7 u)'. Theỷ are also called macromolecules, which are formed bỳ joining of repeating structural units on a large scale. Monomer is a simple molecule capable of undergoing polymerisation and leading to the formation of the corresponding polymer.
eg. 'n CH_2=CH_2' Polyperisation, ethene (monomer) '' Polytherie. (polymer)
