Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymers are formed by joining together monomers, which are small molecules that can bond to each other to form long chains. The repeating unit in a polymer is the monomer. Tetramers, dimers, and trimers are all specific types of oligomers (smaller molecules made up of a few monomers), but not the repeating units in a polymer.
