mark me as branliest then
Answer:
Most plastics contain organic polymers. The vast majority of these polymers are formed from chains of carbon atoms, with or without the attachment of oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms. These chains comprise many repeating units formed from monomers. Each polymer chain consists of several thousand repeating units. The backbone is the part of the chain that is on the main path, linking together a large number of repeat units. To customize the properties of a plastic, different molecular groups called side chains hang from this backbone; they are usually hung from the monomers before the monomers themselves are linked together to form the polymer chain. The structure of these side chains influences the properties of the polymer.
so {plastic can be defined as those chemical compund that are made up of oxygen nitrogen or sulfur atoms in which they are linked together with themselves repeadetly}
Following are the general properties of plastics.
Strength. The plastics are sufficiently strong and can be used for load bearing structural members.
Weather Resistance
Fire Resistance.
Durability.
Dimensional Stability.
Chemical Resistance.
Thermal Resistance.
