Explain the terms polymer and monomer.
Solution:  
Polymers are very large molecules having high molecular mass, which are formed by joining of repeating structural units on a large scale derived from monomers. e.g., Polythene, PVC, Nylon-6, 6 etc.
Monomer is a simple molecule capable of undergoing polymerisation and leading to the formation of the corresponding polymer e.g., Ethene, Vinyl chloride, etc.
