Answer 1

Answer:

Thermoplastics have low melting points and low tensile strength. Thermosetting plastics have high melting points and tensile strength. Thermoplastic is lower in molecular weight, compared to thermosetting plastic. Thermosetting Plastic is high in molecular weight.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are two types of plastics:

Thermosetting plastics and Thermoplastics.

Thermosetting plastic cannot be bent easily. It may break when forced to bend.

Thermoplastic can be bent easily.

Thermosetting plastic cannot be softened by heating. Thus, it cannot be reshaped once moulded.
