19. Write monomers of terylene and nylon-66.

Answer»

Monomers are relatively small and simple molecules or units of a large molecule or a polymer. Monomers bond together to form a polymer. The monomers of terylene are ----1. Ethylene Glycol2. Terephthalic Acid

Terylene is a synthetic fibre used for making clothes. It is elastic, highly durable, wrinkle-free.

The acid is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (old name: terephthalic acid). The alcohol is ethane-1,2-diol (old name: ethylene glycol).

Nylon 66 is made up of 2 monomers -

Each consists of 6 carbon atoms.1) Hexamethylenediamine2) Adipic acid
