Which one of the following sets forms the biodegradable polymer?

  1. CH2=CH-CN and CH2=CH-CH=CH2
  2. H2N-CH2-COOH and H2N-(CH2)5-COOH
  3. HO-CH2-CH2-OH and [figure]
  4. [figure] and CH2=CH-CH=CH2

Answer

(2) H2N-CH2-COOH and H2N-(CH2)5-COOH

Solution

As per NCERT, nylon-2–nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer of glycine (H2N-CH2-COOH) and amino caproic acid (H2N-(CH2)5-COOH), and it is biodegradable.

Option (1) gives Buna-N, option (3) gives terylene (Dacron) and option (4) gives Buna-S; these are not biodegradable.

Answer: (2)
