What is the definition of isomer
molecules with the same molecular formula but with different structures
What is a monomer? What is a polymer?
a polymer is made up of multiple monomers
What happens during a dehydration synthesis reaction
monomers are brought together to form a polymer
What happens during a hydrolysis reaction
polymers are separated into monomers
How is carbon a building block for organic molecules
It can bond well with other atoms
What is the similarities between monomers and polymers? dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis
Polymers are made up of Monomers. Dehydration synthesis makes polymers from monomers. hydrolysis makes monomers from polymers
