Polymers Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 15

Polymers Class 12 Notes Chemistry Chapter 15 1. A polymer is a large molecule of high molecular mass formed by the repetitive bonding of many small molecules called monomers. The process by which the monomers are transformed into polymers is called polymerisation. As polymers are single big size molecules, they are also called  macromolecules. 2.…
