What is polythene rod made of?
The polymer "polythene".
A substance that will not conduct electricy is called?
A substance that will not conduct electricity is called an insulator. Insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move freely, preventing the flow of electric current. Common examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic. These materials are often used to protect or encase conductive components in electrical applications.
If you rub a copper rod rather than a polythene rod the copper rod will not stay charged why not?
Copper is a good conductor of electricity, so when it is rubbed, any charge accumulated on its surface quickly redistributes throughout the rod and dissipates. This rapid conduction of charge prevents the copper rod from retaining a net charge like a polythene rod, which is an insulator and can hold onto excess charge more effectively.
Does polythene dissolve in water?
No, polythene does not dissolve in water as it is a non-polar polymer and water is a polar solvent. This lack of attraction between the polythene molecules and water molecules prevents it from dissolving.
What is the difference between biodegradable polythene and ordinary polythene?
The main difference between Ordinary Polythene & Biodegradable polythene is: * Ordinary polythene takes an around 100 + years to degrade... * Biodegradable/Degradable polythene degrades or biodegrades in around 5 yrs depending on how it's made and how its disposed. However, biodegradation starts in the presence of sunlight, moisture, mechanical stress and/or microorganisms...

Is polythene a thermal conductor?
No, polythene is a plastic and that cannot conduct electricity.
Can non polar covalent conduct electricy when melted?
No. Covalent molecular compounds generally from liquids that contain the neutral molcules. These will not be affected by an electric field and therefore no electricity will be conducted.
What is more flexible aluminium or polythene?
Polythene.
What is polythene rod made of?
The polymer "polythene".
Is polythene a chemical?
Polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) is a chemical product.
When was Polythene - album - created?
Polythene - album - was created in 1996.
Why does polythene have a negative charge with a cloth?
When polythene is rubbed with a cloth, electrons are transferred from the cloth to the polythene, causing the polythene to become negatively charged. This transfer of electrons creates an imbalance of charges between the two materials, resulting in the polythene having a negative charge.
What are the hazards of food served in polythene bags?
hazards of polythene bags
When polythene is rubbed with wool why does the polythene becomes negatively charged?
When polythene is rubbed with wool, electrons are transferred from the wool to the polythene due to differences in their electronegativities. The polythene gains extra electrons, making it negatively charged, while the wool becomes positively charged due to losing electrons.
Can polythene be used to make clothes?
Yes polythene can be used to make clothes
Is a polythene a nayural fiber or a synthetic fiber?
yes polythene is a synthetic fiber
When was British Polythene Industries created?
British Polythene Industries was created in 1910.
