a. The short segment of nylon-4 is given below.

b. The short segment of nylon-44 is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Nylon-4

Nylon 4 comes under the category of polyamides. Several applications utilize polyamides. Its corrosion resistance character makes it employed in refineries and wastewater treatment plants.

02

Drawing short segments of nylon 4 and nylon 44 

a. Nylon-4 is a polymer of 4-aminobutanoic acid.

The reaction between two molecules of 4-aminobutamoic acid is given below.

The reaction between two molecules of 4-aminobutamoic acid

Hence, the short segment of nylon 4 is given below.
