Small organic compounds called _____ chemically link into long chains of repeating subunits called _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monomers are the small organic compounds that chemically link into long chains of repeating subunits called polymers. Choice A is incorrect because methacrylates are a specific type of monomer often used in polymer chemistry, not the name for the repeating subunits in a polymer. Choice B is incorrect because monomers, not methacrylates, are the small organic compounds that link to form polymers. Choice C is incorrect because while polymers make up the long chains of repeating subunits, it does not refer to the smaller organic compounds that link together to form polymers.
