What makes plastics different from materials like metals and plastics?

Plastics are organic polymers made from carbon, hydrogen, and other elements, whereas metals are inorganic elements that form crystalline structures. Plastics are lightweight, have low melting points, and are highly moldable, while metals are typically heavier, have higher melting points, and can conduct electricity. Additionally, plastics are generally more resistant to chemicals and corrosion compared to metals.
