Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the matching problem between the chemical substances in Column I and the polymer types or bond types in Column II, we analyze each substance individually:

  1. (A) Cellulose:

    • Nature: Cellulose is a naturally occurring structural carbohydrate found in the cell walls of green plants. Hence, it is a natural polymer →(p)\rightarrow \text{(p)}.
    • Linkage: It is a polysaccharide composed of linear chains of β\beta-D-glucose units linked together by β(1→4)\beta(1 \rightarrow 4) glycoside linkages →(s)\rightarrow \text{(s)}.
    • Therefore, (A) →\rightarrow p, s.
  2. (B) Nylon-6,6:

    • Nature: Nylon-6,6 is a man-made condensation polymer produced by reacting hexamethylenediamine with adipic acid. Hence, it is a synthetic polymer →(q)\rightarrow \text{(q)}.
    • Linkage: The reaction forms repeating amide bonds (−CONH−-\text{CONH}-) between the monomer units, making it a polyamide containing an amide linkage →(r)\rightarrow \text{(r)}.
    • Therefore, (B) →\rightarrow q, r.
  3. (C) Protein:

    • Nature: Proteins are biopolymers found in living organisms composed of long chains of α\alpha-amino acids. Hence, it is a natural polymer →(p)\rightarrow \text{(p)}.
    • Linkage: The amino acids are joined sequentially by peptide bonds, which are chemically amide linkages (−CONH−-\text{CONH}-) →(r)\rightarrow \text{(r)}.
    • Therefore, (C) →\rightarrow p, r.
  4. (D) Sucrose:

    • Nature: Sucrose (C12H22O11\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}) is a disaccharide (a small biomodule, not a high-molecular-weight polymer). Thus, it is neither a natural polymer nor a synthetic polymer.
    • Linkage: It consists of an α\alpha-D-glucopyranosyl unit and a β\beta-D-fructofuranosyl unit joined together by an α,β−1,2\alpha,\beta-1,2-glycoside linkage →(s)\rightarrow \text{(s)}.
    • Therefore, (D) →\rightarrow s.

Final Match:

  • A →\rightarrow p, s
  • B →\rightarrow q, r
  • C →\rightarrow p, r
  • D →\rightarrow s
