Basically, an expression is not a polynomial when anything is done that is not allowed in a polynomial - for example, use any variable in the denominator of a monomial, use non-integral powers or radicals (which is basically the same as a non-integral power), use functions, etc.

How can i Differentiate between an algebraic expression and polynomial?
A polynomial is always going to be an algebraic expression, but an algebraic expression doesn't always have to be a polynomial. An algebraic expression is an expression with a variable in it, and a polynomial is an expression with multiple terms with variables in it.
When can an algebraic expression be called polynomial?
if it has parentheses
Are all algebraic expression a polynomial expression?
Not really.For example: x can be considered and algebraic expression by itself, however it is only a single variable, so by definition it is not a polynomial expression (multiple-number expression).
What are the terms in algebraic expression?
monomial binomial trinomial polynomial
What algebraic expression has no like terms and no parentheses?
A polynomial is one possible answer.
