Which of the following is a condensation polymer?
Correct answer: A. Nylon 6,6
- A. Nylon 6,6
- B. Teflon
- C. Polypropylene
- D. Orlon
Explanation
The correct answer is Nylon 6,6. It is a condensation polymer, which means it is formed through a reaction where two different monomers react, resulting in the elimination of a small molecule, typically water. In this case, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid react to form Nylon 6,6 and water. The other options are addition polymers, which are formed by reactions that do not involve the elimination of small molecules. Teflon, Polypropylene, and Orlon are all addition polymers, characterized by the linking of monomers without the loss of any byproduct.
