Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Many monomers can be cross-linked together to form ____
A
molecules
B
plastic material
C
polymers
D
balloons and silly putty
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If the monomers are linked together in a linear manner, the resulting structure is called a linear polymer. For branched polymers, the monomers are joined together in a branched manner. Cross-linked polymers are formed when the monomer units are linked in multiple chains and have interconnections between chains.

Detailed explanation-2: -Highly branched or cross-linked polymer materials can be obtained through copolymerization of vinyl/divinyl monomers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomacromolecules are large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, that are made up of monomers linked together.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Monomers are small molecules that can be joined to form more complex molecules called polymers in a repeated fashion. Monomers form polymers by the formation of chemical bonds or the supramolecular binding through a process called polymerization.
