A

a) caprolactam

B

b) alanine and amino caproic acid

C

c) glycine and amino caproic acid

D

d) hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Nylon-2-nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer of glycine (containing two carbon atoms) and `in`-amino-caproic acid (containing six carbon atoms).
`nH_(2)N - underset("Glycine")(CH_(2)) - COOH + underset(in-"aminocaproic acid")(nH_(2)N - (CH_(2))_(5) - COOH)`
