Question

10) Plastics are polymers.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Plastics are polymers having ethylene as their monomer units.

Ethylene is given by the formula ${({\mathrm{CH}}_2-{\mathrm{CH}}_2)}_{\mathrm{n}}$

Two types of polyethylene are present -

• High-density polyethylene is made from a chain of carbon atoms.
• Low-density polyethylene is made from a long chain of carbon with some side branches.

Therefore the given statement is True
