A) condensation polymer
B) polyamide
C) copolymer
D) homopolymer
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Nylon is not a homopolymer as it is a copolymer. The monomers of nylon 6, 6 are adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. Nylon contain \[-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-NH-\](amide) linkage, hence they are structurally polyamide. Also nylon is condensation polymer as molecule of water eleminates in its preparation \[n\,HOOC-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-COOH\] \[+n.HNH-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-N{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{-n{{H}_{2}}O}\] \[\underset{Nylon\,6,6}{\mathop{\left[ -\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\underset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\mathop{N}}\,}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-NH- \right]}}\,\]
