Match List I with List II. List I: (a) Caprolactum (b) 2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene (c) Isoprene (d) Acrylonitrile. List II: (i) Natural rubber (ii) Buna-N (iii) Nylon 6 (iv) Neoprene.
Show Hint
Nylon 6 is named because its monomer (caprolactum) contains 6 carbon atoms.
To solve this matching problem, we need to match the compounds in List I with their corresponding polymers in List II.
Caprolactam: Caprolactam is a key monomer used in the production of Nylon 6. Therefore, (a) Caprolactam matches with (iii) Nylon 6.
2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene: This compound is the monomer for Neoprene, a synthetic rubber. So, (b) 2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene matches with (iv) Neoprene.
Isoprene: Isoprene is the building block for natural rubber, which is derived from the polymerization of isoprene units. Thus, (c) Isoprene matches with (i) Natural rubber.
Acrylonitrile: Acrylonitrile is used in the production of Buna-N rubber (Nitrile rubber), which is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Hence, (d) Acrylonitrile matches with (ii) Buna-N.
Based on the above matching, the correct answer is:
List I
List II
(a) Caprolactam
(iii) Nylon 6
(b) 2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene
(iv) Neoprene
(c) Isoprene
(i) Natural rubber
(d) Acrylonitrile
(ii) Buna-N
Therefore, the correct match is: (a)→(iii), (b)→(iv), (c)→(i), (d)→(ii)
