The correct Answer is:
To identify the heteropolymer from the given options, we need to understand the definitions of homopolymers and heteropolymers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Polymers**: - Polymers are large macromolecules made up of repeating units called monomers. - **Homopolymer**: A polymer made from only one type of monomer. - **Heteropolymer**: A polymer made from two or more different types of monomers. 2. **Analyze the Given Options**: - **Polythene**: - Made from ethylene (CH2=CH2). - It consists of only one type of monomer (ethylene). - **Conclusion**: Polythene is a homopolymer. - **Nylon 6**: - Made from caprolactam. - It consists of only one type of monomer (caprolactam). - **Conclusion**: Nylon 6 is a homopolymer. - **Teflon (PTFE)**: - Made from tetrafluoroethylene (CF2=CF2). - It consists of only one type of monomer (tetrafluoroethylene). - **Conclusion**: Teflon is a homopolymer. - **Nylon 6,6**: - Made from two different monomers: hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. - It consists of two different types of monomers. - **Conclusion**: Nylon 6,6 is a heteropolymer. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - Among the options provided, **Nylon 6,6** is the only heteropolymer as it is made from two different monomer units. ### Answer: The heteropolymer from the list is **Nylon 6,6**.
