Monomers means one segment or part and are molecules that can combine into polymers For example ethylene is a monomer that when joined with other ethylene molecules possibly thousands of other ethylene monomers become the plastic polyethylene or PE The common water molecule H2O is not a monomer as it cannot be combined to form a larger
