[Maximum number: 1]
Which term describes nylon?

addition polymer
B
natural polymer
C
polyamide
D
polyester
CAIE IGCSE Chemistry 11.8.10 & draw the structure of: (a) nylon
Practise recognising nylon as a synthetic polyamide and drawing its repeating amide links from fully displayed monomer structures.
How this is tested
- complete nylon monomer structures with all atoms and bonds shown
- distinguish nylon as a synthetic polyamide from PET, Terylene and addition polymers
