Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a polymer: A polymer is a large molecule composed of repeating structural units, or monomers, connected by chemical bonds.

Identify the type of bond typically involved in forming polymers: Polymers are usually formed through covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons to create stable molecules.

Differentiate between the types of bonds listed: Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between polar molecules, hydrophobic bonds are interactions that occur due to the avoidance of water, and nuclear bonds are related to forces within the nucleus of an atom.

Recognize that covalent bonds are the most common type of bond in organic molecules, including polymers, because they allow for the stable sharing of electrons between atoms.

Conclude that the correct type of bond for forming polymers from monomers is covalent bonds, as they provide the necessary stability and structure for polymer formation.
