Chemical compound or compound mixtures created by molecular reaction to form larger organic molecules containing repeating structural units. A longchain hydrocarbon.<\/p>\n
A very large, complex molecule formed by chemically binding together a large number of identical smaller units or monomers.<\/p>\n
Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., polypeptides, proteins, plastics).<\/p>\n
Large molecules consisting of many smaller molecules that are identical or of several different types.<\/p>\n
A substance formed by the linkage of a large number of smaller molecules known as monomers. An example of a monomer is glucose, whose molecules link together to form glycogen, a polymer. Polymers may have molecular weights from a few thousands to many millions. Polymers made up of a single type of monomer are known as homopolymers; those of two or more monomers as heteropolymers.<\/p>\n
A natural or synthetic substance formed by a combination of two or more molecules (and up to millions) of the same substance.<\/p>\n
Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) into very long chain-like structures.<\/p>\n
A substance created through the combination of smaller molecules is known as a polymer. Examples of polymers include plastic, acrylic, cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, nylon, and many more.<\/p>\n
