Y11 Polymerisation

What is the meaning of polymer?

• Long chain molecule that is made from a combination of many repeating basic units

• Long chain molecule produced by polymerisation process

• Polymer is made up of monomer bind together

• Bond formed when there are electrostatic force between monomer
