  1. A Nylon-6,6
  2. B Terylene
  3. C Polythene
  4. D Buna-S
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Nylon-6,6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Nylon-6,6 is a polymer having amide linkage, therefore, it is a polyamide.
\( n N H_{2}\left(C H_{2}\right)_{6} N H_{2}+n H O O C\left(C H_{2}\right)_{4} C O O H \)
Hexamethylene diamine
Adipicacid
\( \stackrel{\text { Polymerization }}{\longrightarrow} \)

Nylon - 6,6
