Polymerization is defined as any process in which relatively small molecules called monomers , combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or three-dimensional network molecule called polymer.
The monomer molecules may be all alike or they may represent two , three or more different compounds.
POLYTHENE is a best suited example for this process.
In this case ethene is a monomer and the three-dimensional network of ethene creates a Polythene , which is a polymer and the whole process is called polymerization.
