Caprolactam

Caprolactam is a cyclic amide with the formula (CH₂)₅C(O)NH. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water. The vast majority of caprolactam produced globally is used for a single, crucial purpose: as the monomer for the synthesis of Nylon 6. This polymerization process results in a highly versatile polymer used to manufacture a wide array of products. These include textile fibers for clothing and carpets, industrial yarns for things like tire cords, and engineering plastics for automotive parts and other industrial components.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time compromise, but if you decide to reor
