Nylon-6 is a polymer constructed by a ring-opening polymerization, unlike most nylon polymers, which are synthesized using condensation polymerization. Use the structure of Nylon-6 to deduce and draw its cyclic monomer.

The monomer of nylon-6 is caprolactam.

Explanation:

From the question, we are asked to draw the cyclic monomer from the structure of Nylon-6.

Two repeating monomer units can be seen in the polymeric structure given in the problem.

From this we can see and conclude that The monomer of nylon-6 is caprolactam.

attached is a diagrammatic representation of the Structure (Nylon-6 monomer).

cheers i hope this helps
