Why is carbon a versatile building block?
It has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds.
Describe the relationship between all of the terms: monomers, polymers, dehydration synthesis, and hydrolysis
Dehydration reactions link monomers together into polymers by releasing water, and hydrolysis breaks polymers into monomers using a water molecule
