Which one of the following polymers contains nitrogen?
Correct answer: C. Nylon
- A. PVC
- B. Teflon
- C. Nylon
- D. Polypropylene
Explanation
Nylon is the correct answer because it is a polyamide polymer that contains nitrogen atoms in its amide groups, which form the backbone of the polymer. In contrast, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms, Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is made of carbon and fluorine atoms, and Polypropylene is made from carbon and hydrogen atoms. None of these other polymers contain nitrogen in their structures.
