What is a Hydrolysis Reaction? What does it involve?
When a polymer splits into two or more monomers. This involves the addition of water.

What Is a Polymer?
A polymer is a large complex chain of sub units (monomers).
3 of 12
What is a Monomer?
Basic, small sub-units.

What is Polymerisation? Give an Example.
When a certain number of monomers undergo the chemical reaction "condensation" to then form large chains called polymers.
