A monomer is a an organic molecule that is involved in polymerization reactions. During these reactions, they are chemically linked forming macromolecules, or polymers, which have large molecular weights. Monomers are the starting materials for a wide...

A monomer (meaning "single member") is any molecule capable of bonding with others of the same kind to form a long chain. Monomers are the single repeating units of any polymer (which means "many members.") For example, styrene is the monomer from...

Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers). The essential feature of monomer molecules is the ability to form chemical bonds (&see;...

A single unit building block in organic chemistry that may link in chain formation with other similar units or identical blocks to form more complex compounds. These latter are known as...

The simplest unit of a polymer. Ethylene is the smallest of polyethylene. Styrene is the smallest unit of...

A monomer (from Greek mono "one" and meros "part") is a small molecule that may become chemically bonded to other monomers to form a polymer. Examples of monomers are hydrocarbons such as the alkene and arene homologous series. Here hydrocarbon monomers...
