Two separate molecules bind together, forming a covalent bond. There are two types of polymerization reactions: step reactions and chain reactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The monomer can combine to form dimers (two monomer units), trimers (three monomer units),&nbsp;Tetramer<strong> (<\/strong>Four monomer units), Pentamer (Five monomer units), Hexamer (Six monomer units), Heptamer (Seven monomer units), and so on.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monomers can originate from synthetic or natural sources.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chemical bonds hold the monomer units of a polymer together and maintain the final polymer&#8217;s configuration.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending on the monomer units that are binding together, a polymer can have a variety of structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many monomer units have varying configurations but the same number of carbon atoms. Isomers are molecules that have the same number of carbon atoms but different configurations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The most common examples of isomeric monomers are Glucose, Fructose, and Galactose, which have the same number of atoms in the molecule but different molecular arrangements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#types-of-monomers\" title=\"Types of Monomers\">Types of Monomers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#example-of-monomers\" title=\"Example of Monomers\">Example of Monomers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#classification-of-monomers\" title=\"Classification of Monomers\">Classification of Monomers<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#classification-based-on-origin\" title=\"Classification based on origin\">Classification based on origin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#classification-based-on-synthesis\" title=\"Classification based on synthesis\">Classification based on synthesis<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/microbenotes.com\/monomers-types-examples-classification-uses\/#references\" title=\"References\">References<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"types-of-monomers\"><\/span><strong>Types of Monomers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of monomers.

Amino acid<\/strong> is the monomer of protein. They are linked together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a covalent bond that forms between two amino acids during dehydration synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 20 amino acid monomers, but they all have a general structure of C, NH3, COO-, H, and the R group. Polymers join together by polypeptide.
