Identify the heteropolymer from the list given below
A
polythene
B
Nylon-6
C
Auxiliary valence
D
Ionizable valence
Answer
Nylon-6
Explanation
Solution
Nylon-6 is a polyamide whose repeating unit contains different atoms (C, H, O, and N) arranged in the amide linkage. In contrast, polythene is made solely of –CH₂– units. The terms “auxiliary valence” and “ionizable valence” pertain to coordination compounds, not to polymers. Hence, among the options, Nylon-6 is the heteropolymer.
