A large molecule formed from a chain of small monomers
Real World Example
Imagine trying to make a long string of paper clips to hang pictures in your room. Just like you connect one paper clip to another to form a longer chain, a polymer is a large molecule made by linking many small molecules called monomers in a chain. In this analogy, each paper clip represents a monomer, and the entire string of paper clips represents the polymer, showing how small, individual pieces come together to create something larger and more functional.
