Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the monomer The question asks about the polymer obtained from caprolactam. First, we need to recognize that caprolactam is a cyclic amide with the chemical structure: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{11}\text{NO} \] This structure contains a carbonyl group (C=O) and an amine group (NH). **Hint:** Look for the functional groups in caprolactam that facilitate polymerization. ...
