Detailed explanation-1: -It’s made up of just one kind of monomer-ethylene, which is made of two carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms. (Other polymers can be made of two or more different monomers.) Polyethylene is formed when many thousands of ethylene molecules are joined end to end.

Detailed explanation-2: -The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”

Detailed explanation-3: -A polymer is a large molecule that is composed of many repeating monomers bonded together. Monomers are joined together through a process called polymerization to form polymers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Multiple monomers together form a molecule called a polymer. In organic macromolecules (there may be other instances, but this is the best example), they are formed through a dehydration synthesis reaction (also called a condensation reaction).
