1.1 Monomers and Polymers

• Monomers are joined together through condensation reactions to form larger polymer molecules.
• Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating monomers
• Monomers are the basic units or building blocks that make up polymers
• Monomers are large, complex molecules

  False
• Condensation reactions in polymers involve the removal of water molecules
• Polymerization is the process of forming polymers from monomers
• Monomers are the basic units that make up polymers
• Monomers are small, simple molecules


  True
