(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The short segment of nylon 4 has to be drawn

Concept Introduction:

Polyamides:

• Nylon is a polyamide and is formed from the polymerization of $\text{6-aminohexanoyl}\text{chloride}$ and hence it is called nylon-6
• Nylon 66 is formed from adipic acid and $\text{1,6-hexanediamine}$ which have 6 carbons each.
• Polyamide belongs to the class of step-growth polymer.
