The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which compound is not correctly matched with its structure, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Neoprene - Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber, and its structure is represented as: \[ \text{(C}_4\text{H}_5\text{Cl)}_n \] - The structure typically includes a repeating unit of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene). - Since the structure given in the option matches this description, Neoprene is correctly matched. **Hint:** Check if the structure corresponds to the repeating unit of the polymer. ### Step 2: Analyze Nylon 6-6 - Nylon 6-6 is a type of polyamide, and its structure is represented as: \[ \text{NH(CH}_2\text{)6NHCO(CH}_2\text{)4CO)}_n \] - The provided formula matches the known structure of Nylon 6-6. - Thus, Nylon 6-6 is also correctly matched. **Hint:** Look for the amide linkages and the carbon chain lengths in the formula. ### Step 3: Analyze Terylene - Terylene, also known as PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), has the structure: \[ \text{(C}_10\text{H}_8\text{O}_4)_n \] - The correct structure shows two ester groups attached to a benzene ring. The option provided states that a CO group is attached to an adjacent carbon, which is incorrect. - Therefore, Terylene is not correctly matched. **Hint:** Identify the ester functional groups and their correct positions in the structure. ### Step 4: Analyze PMMA - PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) has the structure: \[ \text{(C}_5\text{H}_8\text{O}_2)_n \] - The structure typically includes a methyl ester group attached to a polymer chain, which matches the description given in the option. - Hence, PMMA is correctly matched. **Hint:** Verify the presence of the ester group and the carbon backbone in the structure. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the compound which is not correctly matched with its structure is **option C: Terylene**. ### Final Answer **Option C: Terylene is not correctly matched.** ---
