Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A monomer is ____
A
a single atom
B
a building block for polymers
C
a single element
D
is an inorganic molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The building blocks that make up polymers are called monomers (MAH-nuh-murs). Thousands or even tens of thousands of monomers connect to form a polymer. In some polymers, all the monomers look the same. Other polymers combine several types of monomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Long-chain, very high molecular weight hydrocarbons are the basic building blocks of polymers. The chains either lie together intertwined like a plate of spaghetti strands to create the linear polymers, or are joined at nodes to form three-dimensional networks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers are atoms or small molecules that bond together to form more complex structures such as polymers. There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-4: -A monomer is a type of molecule that has the ability to chemically bond with other molecules in a long chain; a polymer is a chain of an unspecified number of monomers. Essentially, monomers are the building blocks of polymers, which are more complex type of molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -A monomer is a single atom, small molecule, or molecular fragment that, when bonded together with identical and similar types of monomers, form a larger, macromolecule known as a polymer.
