Give one example to explain each of the following properties of plastics:(a) plastics are not reactive (b) plastics are light, durable and strong (c) plastics are poor conductor.
Answers
Answer:
1.) Plastic is a non reactive substance as handles of pans are made of plastic so it is clear that it has no thermal conductivity and electricians wear plastic gloves to save them from electric shock and thus it does not show electrical conductivity.
2.) We can say that plastics are light, with the comparison to regularly used metal containers {plastics are lighter than metals (in weight). then, it is durable; plastics are non-corrosive, water proof, air tight. It has high resistance compared to that of other substances. It has low conductivity towards electricity.
3.) Plastic are bad conductors of electricity because electrons in them are bound to their respective 'parent' atoms and are not free to move. Therefore, wood or plastic does not possess freely movable charges; hence they cannot conduct electricity.
