hasNoteThe term 'compound' indicates that this refers to the commecial product that may contain impurities, not the molecule.
hasNoteAdminOxford English Dictionary, B.I.1.b.
hasNoteExplanatoryThe repeating units are often molecules of a single compound, but polymers may also result from combination of two or more different constituents; in either case linking of units may be accompanied by elimination of small molecules, and the formula and molecular weight of the polymer are not necessarily exact multiples of those of any component monomer.
