Monomers and Polymers

Today in Year 2 we learned about how plastics are made.
First we each made a molecule of ETHENE.
Formula: C2H4


This small molecule is called a MOMONER






Then we linked all our ethene molecules together to make one giant molecule of POLYTHENE


this large, chain-shaped molecule is called a POLYMER
