explain me functionality of monomer

OpenStudy (abb0t):

a monomer is a single unit which can form to make a polymer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Number of covalent bonds that a monomer molecule or monomeric unit in a macromolecule or oligomer molecule can form with other reactants. Notes: There are no monofunctional monomers. If f = 2, a linear chain macromolecule or a macrocycle can be formed. If f > 2, a branch point can be formed leading to a branched macromolecule, a network or a micronetwork. Ethene and ethylene glycol are examples of difunctional monomers, glycerol is an example of a trifunctional monomer, and divinylbenzene and pentaerythritol are examples of tetrafunctional monomers.
