Nylon 6

Build a molecular model of Nylon 6 with genuine Molymod parts from Indigo Instruments. The model clearly shows the atomic structure/chemical composition carbon, nitrogen, oxygen & hydrogen which corresponds to the chemical formula (C6H11NO)n of its oligomer.

The polymeric form of nylon 6 is a linear chain with amide (-CONH-) bonds between monomers. You will need more than 1 of this model to build oligomers.

A molecular model of Nylon 6 in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
