Definition. noun, plural: monomers. (1) A molecule that may react chemically to another molecule of the same type to form a larger molecule, such as dimer, trimer, tetramer, polymer, etc. (2) The simplest unit, or the repeating unit, of a polymer. Supplement. A monomer may combine with another monomer through chemical bonds to form a larger molecule, as in a polymer. Examples of monomers are amino acids that link together by a peptide bond forming a polypeptide or protein. Word origin: from Greek mono one and meros part.
A Monomer is an atom or small molecule that may bind chemically to other monomers to form a Polymer (means many parts). A Polymer is defined as a large molecule composed of repeating structural units.Monomer bond together to form polymers during a chemical reaction called Polymerization, where the two molecules link together by sharing electrons. The term monomer came from the Greek word âmonoâ means âoneâ and âmerosâ means âpartâ. Polymer is defined as a large molecule composed of repeating structural units.
