polymerization, any process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer. The monomer molecules may be all alike, or they may represent two, three, or more different compounds.

What occurs during the chemical reaction called polymerization?

Polymerization? -a chemical reaction that creates polymers. -In this process, trillions of monomers are linked together to creat lon chains. -these long chains create the tiny round beads.

What reaction is reaction polymerization?

In polymer chemistry, polymerization (American English), or polymerisation (British English), is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.
