DIVISION 06: Plastics

Question 1

It is from which relatively simple chemicals known as monomers are built up into chainlike molecules of high molecular weight called polymers; can be hard, soft, clear, opaque , light, heavy, heat resistant or easily softened by hot water.

Answer 1

Plastics

Question 2

3 types of Plastics:
