Statement 1 is correct as not all monomers may be able to participate in the polymerization reaction. Statement 2 is incorrect as the unreacted residual monomer in the polymer can have clinical consequences like toxicity, allergic reactions, and inflammation. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the residual monomer is within safe limits before using the polymer in clinical applications.
