Question:medium

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.

  • (a) → (iv), (b) → (iii), (c) → (ii), (d) → (i)
  • (a) → (ii), (b) → (i), (c) → (iv), (d) → (iii)
  • (a)→(iii), (b)→(iv), (c)→(i), (d)→(ii)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To solve this matching problem, we need to match the compounds in List I with their corresponding polymers in List II.

  1. Caprolactam: Caprolactam is a key monomer used in the production of Nylon 6. Therefore, (a) Caprolactam matches with (iii) Nylon 6.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 IList 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)
