Chapter 21, Problem 107E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason why nylon hosiery has a very short wear life in cities where acid rain is common is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Polymers are materials made of long repeating chain of molecules called monomer units. Based on the modes of polymerization, polymers are classified as follows:

Addition polymers – Addition polymers are formed by repeated addition of the monomer units. The monomer units are unsaturated hydrocarbons generally. There is no elimination of molecules in the reaction.

Condensation polymers – Condensation polymers are formed by repeated condensation between two different monomer units along with the formation of elimination products like water.

Nylon 6-6 is formed as follows:

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
why Acetanilide after cooling back at room temperature forms a crystal?
The carbonyl group > C = O is an important functional group in biology and chemistry. Discuss this statement briefly with reference to the bonding in amides
two of these statements are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. The human blood follows the aspect of suspension because it contains different sizes of molecules. b. The proton concentration of seawater is 0.00000001 M therefore it is an acidic solution. c. Not all inorganic compounds do not have carbon atoms. Thus it is easier to say that these types of compounds, if compared with organic compounds, are not solely based on composition.   guess of the student is A
