Do plastics occur naturally?
Plastic is man-made. It's a hydro-carbon compound.
Is plastic a mixture or compound or solution or element?
Is plastic an element or a compound ? A: Plastic is a Compound. jadiie xx
Is plastic an acid?
No, most plastics are quite inert. Remember that 'plastic' is a type of substance, not an individual compound. Polythene, for instance, has very few reactions, which is why we make chemical storage bottles out of it, for instance for strong acids and alkalis. PTFE is less inert, but still not acidic.
What is the original material that plastics come from?
Most plastics come from hydrocarbon monomers - hydrogen and carbon. Occasionally another element, such as Fluorine, is added to make a different plastic. These monomer molecules are forced to join under heat and pressure (sometimes with a catalyst) to form a polymer. Another group use Silicon rather than carbon. These form the silicone plastics.
What are most plastics made from?
Petro-chemicals, such as plastics and polymers, are produced from the raw material petroleum.
What does a most compound use to make plastics and synthetic textiles?
It is chlorides. I asked this question then answered it because i figured it out

Are most plastics biodegradable?
No. Most plastics are made of compounds and polymers that are not metabolized or degraded by most organisms, although some special organisms have been developed to attack certain plastics. Most plastics are degraded by sunlight.
What was the most common method used to make textiles before the weaving loom?
the spinning wheel and the needle
When the weaving loom was developed what was the most common method used to make textiles?
the spinning wheel and neddle
Are plastics eco-friendly?
Most plastics are formed from crude oil, so no. Recycling plastics is eco-friendly. Most plastics are recycled and recycling is good for the environment so in ya face lovie. See link below. Most plastics are not recycled. Even plastics than make it to recyling centers are having difficulty finding homes in products using recycled materials. Plastic grocery bags are not recycable so use the fabric kind, that's the best kind.

What are the ways of disposal of plastics?
There are many and varied. But, the most common are: Carrier bags can be compressed as they dont rot at this time and used for packing out of insulation. Hard plastics can be mixed with virgin material and new hard plastic compound created. Some hard plastics can be recycled into decking boards. The black plasics sacks can be also recycled and mixed with virgin materials to make new sacks Polystyrene can be shredded now and used to insulate wall cavity spaces

Is a plastic cup organic or inorganic?
All plastics, except silicone plastics, are organic.

Why is chlorine found in plastic?
Most of the plastics are polymers of vinyl chloride, chlorine gives the hardness to plastics.
