Question

Which describes the relationship between a monomer and a polymer?

Answer 1

A monomer is a single unit. While a polymer is monomers linked together. So your answer would be B.) A collection of monomers combines to form a polymer.

Answer 2

Answer: A collection of monomers combines to form a polymer.

Explanation:-

Polymer is a macromolecule formed by the combination of simpler units called as monomers.

Polymers are of two types:-

Addition polymers : A polymer in which small units called as monomers are simply joined to form a bigger molecule called as addition polymer.  Example:$nCH_2=CH_2\rightarrow (-CH_2-CH_2)_n$

Condensation polymers : A polymer in which small units called as monomers are joined along with release of small by products to form a bigger molecule called as condensation polymer.

$nHOOC(CH_2)_4COOH+n2_HN-(CH_2)_6-NH_2\rightarrow -OC-(CH_2)_4-CO-NH-(CH_2)_6-NH-)_n+nH_2O$
