Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene. This monomer is a liquid petrochemical and can be rigid or foam.
Polystyrene is definitely a compound. It is addition polymer compound. As a compound it is and alkene (ethene) with a phenyl group in place of one of the hydrogens. H2C = CH ){Phenyl) The alkene bond opens and polymerises (chaions up) with another alkene bond. -H2C-CH(Ph) -CH2- CH(Ph) -
The element that makes up most of the earths CORE is iron.
The element that makes up the majority of the human body is oxygen.
No, polystyrene is a poor thermal conductor. Its structure with trapped air pockets makes it a good insulator, which means it does not conduct heat well. This makes polystyrene commonly used in thermal insulation applications.
Hydrogen is an element, there will be atom that makes up an element and not element that will turn into another.
polystyrene is not heavy can be heavy in certain places though
Sulfur is an element in its own right. So the only element that makes up sulfur is sulfur.
Molded polystyrene is best. Carved and sanded balsa wood is good
it is a electro9n
