Which statement(s) about nylon 2-nylon 6 is/are correct? (One or more options may be correct.)
AIt is biodegradable.
BIt has amide links.
CIt is formed by ring-opening of caprolactam alone.
DIt is formed from glycine and 6-aminohexanoic acid.
Answer: A, B, D
Nylon 2-nylon 6 is an alternating polyamide of glycine and 6-aminohexanoic acid, joined by amide (peptide-type) links, and it is biodegradable. Ring-opening of caprolactam alone gives nylon 6, a different polymer.
