Answer» Solution :(a) Nylon-6 . The number 6 INDICATES that the polymer is made of MONOMER having siz carbon atoms. The monomer is caprolactum `(C_6 H_(11) NO)` . (b) Nylon-66 . The number 66 indicates that the polymer is made up of two monomers, each having SIX carbon atoms. The monomers are HEXAMETHYLENE diamine `(H_2 N (CN_2)_6 NH_2) ` and adipic acid `(HOOC (CH_2)_4 COOH)` . |
