What is polymer?

in #education5 years ago

POLYMERS - POLY means MANY and MERS means UNITS or PARTS.
These are giant molecules of high molecular masses built-up by the linking together of large number of molecules.

For examples-polythene
It is polymer formed by linking together of a large number of ethene molecules.

And the repeat unit in polymer is known as mer.
