Nylon-6 is obtained from:

A)  caprolactum

B)  butadiene

C)  adipic acid

D)  tetrafluoro ethylene

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

                 Nylon-6 is obtained from caprolactum. \[\xrightarrow[-n\,{{H}_{2}}O]{\Delta \,Ploymerises}\left[ --\underset{Nylon-6}{\mathop{NH{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-- \right]\] Tetrafluoro ethylene gives teflon, adipic acid with hexamethylene diamine gives nylon-66.
