Question

write the name of the monomers of the following polymers :
(a) Nylon-6
(b) bakellite​

Answer 1

Answer:  

Nylon−6,6  

It is the condensation polymer of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.

Here 6 represents the number of carbon atoms in each monomer.

The two monomers of Nylon-6,6 can be given as follow:

adipic acid

HOOC−(CH  

2

​  

)  

4

​  

−COOH

​  

 and  

hexamethylene diamine

H  

2

​  

N−(CH  

2

​  

)  

6

​  

−NH  

2

​  

 

​

Bakelite

Bakelite is a condensation polymer of phenol and formaldehyde.

Thus its monomers are as follow:

phenol

C  

6

​  

H  

5

​  

OH

​  

 and  

formaldehyde

HCHO
