Question

. What is plastic? Give any two uses of plastic.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastics are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Therefore, they are used as a coating material for electric wires and handles of containers. Plastic bags are widely used today for wrapping food and other such things. This results in the accumulation of plastics in our homes.

$OR$

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be molded into solid objects.

Plasticity is the general property of all materials which can deform irreversibly without breaking but, in the class of moldable polymers, this occurs to such a degree that their actual name derives from this specific ability.

Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass and often contain other substances. They are usually synthetic, most commonly derived from petrochemicals, however, an array of variants are made from renewable materials such as polylactic acid from corn or cellulosics from cotton linters.

$OR$

In developed economies, about a third of plastic is used in packaging and roughly the same in buildings in applications such as piping, plumbing or vinyl siding.
