Question

Which of the following properties of plastic make it most convenient to use?
A. It is non-reactive
B. Light, strong and durable
C. Easily remouldable
D. All of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Plastics are the polymers which are made up of repeating units of monomers, which are easy to use and could be divided into two categories namely thermosetting and thermoplastics.
The basic difference between the two is, thermoplastics can be remoulded to make new materials out of it, whereas thermosetting plastics cannot.
Plastics generally have a number of properties like resistant to water and have low toxicity, etc

Complete step by step answer:
We know that plastics are non- reactive at room temperature and others have high reactivity, due to lower density than that of metals, plastics are strong, light, and durable, so we can say that they can be moulded in different shapes and sizes easily. Plastics are typically organic polymers which has high molecular mass and often contain other substances. They are generally synthetic in nature, and are most commonly derived from petrochemicals.
So, we can say that all the options are correct, and are properties of plastic.

So, the correct answer is Option D.

Additional information:
Plasticity is the general property of all materials which can deform irreversibly without breaking but in class of moldable polymers this occurs to such a degree that their actual name derives from this specific ability.
Plastics have a number of uses in the medical field as well, along with the introduction of polymer implants and other chemical devices derived at least partially from plastic. The field of plastic surgery does not have the name for use of plastic materials, but rather the meaning of the word plasticity, with regard to reshaping of flesh.

Note: Plastics are non reactive, as a result we can use plastic bottles to store water, drinks and other beverages and it wouldn’t react with the content.
As we know many of the electrical devices have a plastic covering because they are strong, light, and durable. Thermoplastics are also easily remouldable, hence can be reused for different purposes.
