Plastic is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as plastic has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
Plastics are made from more than one element and therefore are compounds.
Plastic itself does not contain oxygen as an element within its molecular structure. However, during the production process of plastic, oxygen may be used as a reactant or in other chemical processes.
Well there is Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen which makes up the plastic outside of a pencil sharpener. To know what element can be found inside you would have to know what a pencil sharpener is made up of on the inside.
P=non-metal and l= no-metal which means it is a covalent bond element one is P and element 2 is l
No, carbon itself is not a type of plastic. Carbon is a chemical element found in all living organisms and is the basis of organic chemistry, while plastics are synthetic materials made from polymers.
Buy a new element.
Its not an element....
Plastic is a mixture of different compounds, additives, and polymers that are combined to give it its properties. It is not a single compound or element, but rather a complex mixture of several substances.
Plastic is a large molecule called a polymer, and it's always a compound.
Plastic is not a element. It has not a atomic number.
No, rust is specific to the element Iron.
The aluminum part of the staple is an element, but it probably has a thin plastic coating on it which is a compound.
Plastic is a compound, not an element or a mixture. It is made up of long chains of molecules called polymers, which are formed by the combination of different elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes nitrogen or sulfur.
Plastics are made from more than one element and therefore are compounds.
I have one the plastic if I will find I would tell
A ping pong ball is an object made of plastic which is a compound.
Plastic is aluminized with the use of vapor deposition. It does not need base coats, much in the manner that glass optical element are coated.
