Which of the following polymers contain nitrogen?
Correct answer: C. Nylon
- A. PVC
- B. Terlyene
- C. Nylon
- D. Teflon
Explanation
Nylon is the correct answer because it is a polyamide polymer that contains nitrogen in its repeating units, specifically in the amide linkages. PVC (polyvinyl chloride), Terlyene (polyethylene terephthalate), and Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) do not have nitrogen in their structures. PVC is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine, Terlyene is made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and Teflon consists of carbon and fluorine.
