Is plastic chemically inert

Answer 1

Yes plastic is chemically inert , meaning that it is non reactive , so that you can store things in it with out it reacting like soaps , achohol and acid,however this means that it is hard to dispose and it dosnt decay

Answer 2

Mercury isn't very reactive but it is in no way chemically inert. It reacts with sulphur fairly readily and so sulphur is used to treat mercury spills. It reacts with oxygen to make the fetching red dye, cinnabar. And it reacts readily with the group 7 elements, fluorine, chlorine and bromine.

But it is one of the less reactive metals, demonstrated by its nearness to gold and platinum in the transition metals of the Periodic Table.

Answer 3

No, plastic is not chemically inert. It can release harmful chemicals when exposed to certain conditions such as heat, UV light, or acidic environments. These chemicals can leach into the surrounding environment or food and pose health risks.

Answer 4

Not readily reactive with other elements; forming few or no chemical compounds.
