LaoPolymerization reactions form monomers. Monomers are smaller molecules that come together to form larger polymer molecules through various chemical reactions, such as condensation polymerization or addition polymerization. During polymerization, monomers join together to create long chains or networks, resulting in the formation of polymers.

What mean polymerise?
Polymerization is a chemical process in which small molecules called monomers are linked together to form a larger molecule called a polymer. This reaction can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties based on the monomers used and the conditions of the reaction.
What type of reaction causes monomers to stick together?
This reaction is called polymerization.
What is the name of the reaction when 2 monomers are split?
The reaction is called hydrolysis, where a water molecule is used to break the bond between the monomers, resulting in two separate molecules.
What when combined forms polymer?
Polymers are formed from monomers.
What type of reaction connect monomers and what occurs during said reaction?
Monomers are connected together to build a relatively complex (macro) molecule by polymerization reaction. Lets say proteins (polymer) for example are made by peptide bonds connected with "n" number of amino acids (monomers).
