Answer 2

Nylon is a polymer termed as polyamide.

Answer - (Option A}

Explanation:

• It belongs to the polyamide family, where the structural units are linked by the amide (NHCO) linkage.
• Nylons are synthetic polyamides derived mostly from aliphatic monomers.
• The polyamides are formed by polycondensation or polymerization of difunctional monomers along with a combination of either amino acids (AB type polyamide) or diacids and diamines in the combination of (AABB type polyamide).
• Polyamides with high molecular weight are referred to as nylon.
• Nylons are a silky thermoplastic material that can be melted into fibers, sheets, films, etc. and are used widely for various purposes.
