Nylon is a manufactured fiber containing amides. Because it is not an element, it is cannot be found on the Periodic Table.
The group that includes ammonia in the production of nylon is the amine group. Ammonia reacts with other substances to form amines, which are used in the production of nylon through polymerization reactions.
Nylon is an: - organic material - a polymer (formed from macromolecules) - a plastic material - a synthetic material
The two functional groups that react to form nylon are an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). These groups undergo a condensation reaction to form an amide bond, resulting in the polymer known as nylon.
Carbon is in group 14, period 2
Nitrogen is period 2, group 15. sodium is period 3 group 1, iodine is period5 group 17. mercury is period 6 group 12.
nitrogen- group 15; period 2 sodium- group 1; period 3 iodine- group 17; period 5 mercury- group 12; period 6
Environmental impact of nylon Nylon (or polyamide) is tough and resistant. The non-biodegradability of nylon, this is a big problem since they can remain unchanged for a period of time within 100 and 500 years and over time they become toxic that finally contaminate the soil, water and air.
Sodium is in Group 1 and Period 3 of the periodic table.
carbon (group 14, period 2) hydrogen (group 1, period 1) nitrogen (group 15, period 2) oxygen (group 16, period 2) sulphur (group 16, period 3) halogens (group 17, period 2-5)
Germanium is in period 4 and group 4A or 14.
Period 4 Group 8
6th group 3rd period
