The generic chemical name for the class of polymers which are commercially known as nylons is______________________?
Correct answer: B. Polyamide
- A. Polyolefins
- B. Polyamide
- C. Polyacrylate
- D. Polyurethane
Explanation
Nylons contain repeating amide linkages, so their generic chemical class is polyamides. Polyolefins, polyacrylates, and polyurethanes have different characteristic linkages.
