Figure 1

The blue coloured ball has three bonds. So, this is the nitrogen atom. The red coloured ball has two bonds. So, this is the oxygen atom. The black coloured atoms have four bonds. So, these are the carbon atoms. The grey coloured balls have one bond. So, these are the hydrogen atoms. The molecular structure of the compound is,

Figure 2

Chain-growth polymerization is formed by the repetitive addition of monomer units containing double or triple bonds. If the monomer units undergoing addition are the same, the polymer is known as homopolymer.

The polymer formed by chain-growth polymerization of given monomer is shown below.
