===About Monomers===
: Different [[monomer]]s are used to produce different [[polymer]]s.
====Foundation====There are several some [[monomer]]s that you may know:*[[Ethene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[Polythene]].*[[Propene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[Polypropene]].*[[TetraFluoroEthene]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in an [[Addition Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[PolyTetraFluoroEthene]].*[[Glucose]] - This [[monomer]] forms the [[polymer]]s; [[Starch]] and [[Glycogen]].*[[Amino Acid]]s - This [[monomer]] forms the [[polymer]]s known as [[Protein]]s.*[[Nucleotide]]s - This [[monomer]] forms the [[polymer]]; [[DNA]].====Higher====
*[[Glucose]] - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]s; [[Starch]] and [[Glycogen]].
*[[Amino Acid]]s - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]s known as [[Protein]]s.
*[[Nucleotide]]s - This [[monomer]] comes together in a [[Condensation Polymerisation]] to form the [[polymer]]; [[DNA]].
