A lattice is made out of ions by charge attraction and a polymer is made of one or several monomers bonded covalently.

A lattice is a regular arrangement of points or nodes connected by lines or edges while a polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units called monomers. In a lattice, the arrangement is fixed and rigid, whereas in a polymer, the structure is flexible and can vary in composition.
Ha Ha Ha actually we can't differentiate between plastic and polymer because plastic itself is made of polymer.
No, graphite is not a polymer. Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon arranged in a hexagonal lattice, while polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
A crystal lattice refers to the arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal structure, whereas a space lattice refers to the repeating 3D arrangement of points or nodes in space that represent the positions of lattice points in a crystal lattice. In other words, a crystal lattice describes the atomic arrangement within a crystal, while a space lattice defines the spatial arrangement of points representing the crystal lattice.
The main difference between lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries is the electrolyte they use. Lithium-ion batteries have a liquid electrolyte, while lithium-polymer batteries have a gel-like or solid electrolyte. Lithium-polymer batteries tend to be thinner, more flexible, and have a lower risk of leakage compared to lithium-ion batteries. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the application.
The main difference between a simple and long-chain polymer is the size of the repeating units they are made of. Simple polymers consist of small repeating units, while long-chain polymers are made up of longer repeating units. Long-chain polymers typically have higher molecular weights and physical properties than simple polymers.
