Monomer

 small basic molecule that can chemically bond with others similar or different to form a larger chain-like structure like a polymer. A polymer is a large marcromolecule made up of many smaller repeating chemical units called monomers linked together in long chains or networks. The process to create a polymer from multiple monomers is dehydration synthesis pulling out water between two bonds the opposite is hydrolysis which is adding water together.
