Explain the terms polymer and monomer.


(i) Polymer is a high molecular mass macromolecule consisting of repeating structural units derived from monomers. For examples of polymers are polythene, rubber, nylon 6 etc.

(ii)  Monomer is a simple molecule that join with other similar molecules to form very large molecule by polymerization and leading to the formation of the corresponding polymer. For example caprolactam is monomer of nylon6 polymer.
