What is the difference between monomers and polymers?
The difference between monomers and polymers is as follows,
Monomer | Polymer |
Monomers are the single units, which collect together to give a polymer | The collection of repetitive units of monomers gives rise to a polymer. |
The molecular weight of the monomer is lower. | The molecular weight of the polymer is higher. |
For example, amino acid, ethylene, and vinyl chloride. | For Example, Teflon, polyethylene, and nylon. |
