The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the formation of Nylon-6, we need to analyze the options given and understand the chemistry behind Nylon-6. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nylon-6**: - Nylon-6 is a type of synthetic polymer known as a polyamide. It is formed through the polymerization of a specific monomer called caprolactam. 2. **Identifying Caprolactam**: - Caprolactam is a cyclic amide (lactam) with the chemical formula C6H11NO. It contains a nitrogen atom in its structure, which is crucial for the formation of the polyamide. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - The options provided are: a) Adipic acid and methane b) Succinic acid and 1,3-butadiene c) Adipic acid and hexamethylene d) None of the above - We need to determine if any of these combinations can produce caprolactam. 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option a**: Adipic acid and methane do not yield caprolactam. - **Option b**: Succinic acid and 1,3-butadiene also do not lead to caprolactam. - **Option c**: Adipic acid and hexamethylene do not produce caprolactam either. - Since none of these combinations yield caprolactam, they cannot form Nylon-6. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since none of the options provided lead to the formation of caprolactam, the correct answer is option d) None of the above. ### Final Answer: Nylon-6 is formed from caprolactam, and thus the correct answer is **d) None of the above**.
