Monomer and Polymer by mohan kumar jha....
Monomers which are the building blocks of more complex molecules, called polymers. Polymers which are consist of repeating molecular units which usually are joined by the covalent bonds. Here is a closer look at the chemistry of monomers and polymers.
1.[Monomers]…
Monomers are the small molecules which may be joined together in a repeating fashion to form more complex molecules called polymers.
2.[Polymers]…
----A polymer may be a natural or synthetic macromolecule comprised of the repeating units of a smaller molecule which are called (monomers). While many people use the term 'polymer' and 'plastic' interchangeably, polymers are a much larger class of molecules which includes plastics, plus many other materials, such as as cellulose, amber, and natural rubber etc...
---Examples of Polymers…
Examples of polymers include plastics such as (polyethylene, silicones such as silly putty, biopolymers such as cellulose and DNA, natural polymers) such as rubber and shellac, and many other important macromolecules.
---How Polymers Form…
[Polymerization, is the process of covalently bonding the smaller monomers into the polymer. During polymerization process, chemical groups are lost from the monomers so that they may join together. In the case of biopolymers, there is a dehydration reaction in which water is formed.
