What is the molecular structure of Nylon?
413109
nylon is a condensation polymer.  It is made using diamines and dicarboxylic acids, when they react in the polyimerisation reaction you get a peptide bond.\n\nThe most common type of Nylon is Nylon 66, the diamine used is 1,6-Hexanediamine and the acid is 1,6-hexanedioic acid, so that gives the nylon the structure of:\n\n...COC6H12CONHC6H12NHCO.......

When monomers link together, they form a polymer. The structure of the polymer depends on the characteristics of the monomer to start with. Usually polymers would be 3-d repetative structures of the source monomers.

lol no, research it yourself\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hs=qgl&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=polysaccharide+structure&btnG=Search\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=wiki+polysaccharide

Not a science major, but nylon is a synthetic not a chemical compound.  Metals are chemical compounds.  They shouldn't fuse together.

a carbon nanotube is basically a large molecule, made up entirely of carbon atoms, that has some very interesting and useful properties.\n\nthey are similar in structure to graphite.  graphite is also pure carbon, and is made up of flat layers of carbon "sheets" - these sheets are arranged in a hexagonal pattern.  you can see a picture of the graphite structure here:  http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~jaszczak/structure.html\n\nanyway, a carbon nanotube (CNT) is what you get if you take a single graphite sheet, and roll it into a long, thin tube.  there are 2 types of CNTs - called single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT).  they are pretty much what you would expect from the names:  SWNTs have only one wall, so they are like a single sheet rolled up into a tube.  MWNTs are a bunch of SWNTs arranged in a concentric fashion, like one of those old expandable pocket telescopes.  here are some great animated pictures of MWNTs and SWNTs:  http://www.photon.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~maruyama/agallery/agallery.html\n\ncarbon nanotubes are very small, but very strong, and have lots of useful properties that are currently being studied.  they can be anywhere from a few nanometers in length to several microns.  one potential application is to weave together lots of little nanotubes into a thread, much the same way that natural fibers like hemp and cotton are woven together to make natural threads.  a nanotube thread would be extremely lightweight and extremely strong because the nanotube has a very strong molecular structure.  see this page for more details:  http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20030614/fob3.asp\n\nthere are a lot of other interesting and useful properties of nanotubes - for instance, they can carry a single electron down the middle of the tube, which could make them useful as "wires" in a nano-scale circuit, for instance.  here is a great site about some of the various applications of nanotubes:  http://www.nanosprint.com/nanotubes/newsletter/newsletter_archive.htm\n\nCNTs are actually fairly easy to make.  they can even be found in small amounts in everyday soot, for example, though  making high-quality nanotubes is a little more challenging.  time will only tell how useful they'll become, but on the face of things, they are going to revolutionize our technology.

Polymer is a term used to describe a very long molecule consisting of structural units and repeating units connected by covalent chemical bonds. The term is derived from the Greek words: polys meaning many, and meros meaning parts [1]. The key feature that distinguishes polymers from other molecules is the repetition of many identical, similar, or complementary molecular subunits in these chains. These subunits, the monomers, are small molecules of low to moderate molecular weight, and are linked to each other during a chemical reaction called polymerization\n\nEpoxy:\n\nEpoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures (polymerizes and crosslinks) when mixed with a catalyzing agent or "hardener". Most common epoxy resins are produced from a reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A.

There are thousands of polymers all with very different chemical and physical properties.  so a simple answer can not be given.  perhaps a specific polymer would obtain better responses.

Yes, all of these are polymers.  While appearing to be different, they are all long chain molecules or polymers.  They all fit into the subset linear polymers, or chain molecules that have no branching points.

This compound is an amine.  You can identify it by the NH2 (amine group) at the end.  You did a fair job with the structure considering the limits of the text here.  I am sure you realize that two of your carbons do not have the correct number of bonds.

Unable to guesstimate.  You're talking biological macromolecules, most likely.  They would probably have carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, and perhals a halogen or two.  And maybe even a metal ion or two thrown in for good measure.

The main difference between nylon and a thermoplasitc is that the thermplastic can be remolded into another shape when applied to gentle heating. Nylon on the other hand once made can not be molded into other shapes, and if applied to heating it will start to decompose. (sp)

You can find the general structures through simple web searches.  Remember some of these are polymers and can have different versions based on chain lengths and copolymers.

Hate to break it to you but fruit doesn't have a molecular structure. No more than an elephant or a house has a molecular structure. These things are complex muli-molecular constructs, not molecules.\n\nYou can certainly find out the molecular structure of fruit components. \n\n95% of most fruit is just water, H2O. That should be easy enough for you to find on the web.\n\nOf the remaining 5% around 60% will be cellulose. That is a fairly simple polysaccharide. And again the molecular structure is easy to find on the web now that you know the name.\n\nOf the 2% remaining 99% will be sugars. Primarily fructose in most cases but also glucose and a range of other di and monsaccharides. Once more, the molecular structuresof these substances have been well studied and are freely vailable on the web..\n\nOf the 0.01% left over 50% at least will be the lipids and liposaccharides of the cell walls. These vary considerably between fruit species. But once again there is welathof information on the web if you search for "cell membrane lipid structure" or similar and add the species name you are interested in.\n\nMost of the rest will be various enzymes and other proteins. These also vary with the fruit, but they have also  been extensively studied. Some, like papayin and those enzymes associated with the TCA cycle are easily found on the web.\n\nThe rest, less than 0.001 of most fruit, will be various vitamins (molecular structure widely and eaily available on the web) and the esters, ketones, terpenes, alcohols and so forth that produce the characterictic odour of the fruit. SOme of these have been widley studied, often by the food flavourings and cosmetics industries. \n\nYou should be able to find a lot of info by doing a search on those molecules + the species you are dealing with. I;ve oncluded a few example earches below. They readily return results like \n\n"Composed of one or more aromatic benzene rings with one or more hydroxyl groups (C-OH). This enormous class includes numerous plant compounds that are chemically distinct from terpenes. Although the essential oils are often classified as terpenes, many of these volatile chemicals are actually phenolic compounds, such as eucalyptol from (Eucalytus globulus), citronellal from (E. citriodora) and clove oil from Syzygium aromaticum."\n\nand \n""Bitter orange oil", expressed from the peel, is in demand for flavoring candy, ice cream, baked goods, gelatins and puddings, chewing gum, soft drinks, liqueurs and pharmaceutical products, especially if the water-or alcohol-insoluble terpenes and sesquiterpenes are removed. "\n\nThat sounds like the type of thing you want. It's quite easy to find if you know where to start.

ClOC-(CH2)10-COCl + H2N-CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2-NH2 -------->\nadipoyl chloride         +    hexamethylene diamine\nH2N-(CH2)6-NH(O)C-(CH2)10-CO-NH-(CH2)6-NH(O)C-(CH2)...etc\n\nDifficult to do without drawing, but adipoyl chloride is the acid chloride shown, and hexamethylene diamine is the diamine drawn, the second molecule.  \n\nThe amine has two nucleophilic centres, and the acid chloride, two elextrophilic centres.  These react together to form a long polymeric chain of many repeating units.  There are many forms of Nylon, which are made in the same way using molecules of different chain lengths.  FOr example the first form of Nylon was Nylon 6,6 - made from the same amine as yours, but from an acid chloride containing 4 less methylene (CH2) spacers.  The bonds joining the two molecules together are AMIDE or PEPTIDE bonds.  These are the same bonds which join amino acids together to make proteins, which are formed from DNA.\n\nI hope this helps.

A complex molecule formed by the joining of many simple molecules is known as a Polymer(example as poly-ethene or polythene). Sorry, I don't know the latter part of your question.
