A polymer is a macromolecule (large molecule) having a high moelcular weight composed of a definite sequence of sub-units (called monomeric units) joined together by either covalent bonds.
The process of making a polymer from small moelcules is called polymerization

Polymer: Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.

A polymer occurs when many monomers (single units) join together by either addition or condensation polymerisation

Long chained molecules built up from a simple molecule by linking. PVC is a polymer (Poly vinyl chloride). It is like building a wall with bricks.
