Question

Joining of monomers to form polymers is called as :

• A. polymerization
• B. hydrolysis
• C. condensation
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A polymerization

Polymerization is the process of combining many small molecules known as monomers into a covalently bonded chain or network.

During the polymerization process, some chemical groups may be lost from each monomer.

The distinct piece of each monomer that is incorporated into the polymer is known as a repeat unit or monomer residue.

Hence the correct option is A.
