A monomer is a small, simple molecule of low molecular weight capable of reacting with identical or different monomers to form a [[Polymer|polymer]], of which it is the smallest repeating unit. Examples include [[Ethylene|ethylene]] (C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>) and [[Propylene|propylene]] (C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub>).
