Solution

The correct option is A True
Carbon is a non-metal.
It has a tendency to form single, double, and even triple covalent bonds with itself as well as other elements.
Due to which Carbon has high tensile strength.
Carbon fiber is composed of carbon, a naturally occurring element, and has high tensile strength and stiffness properties due to its crystalline structure.
Hence, the given statement is True.

Name a form of non-metal that has a high tensile strength

It is a bright silvery-white metal, with high tensile strength. It has a high electrical and thermal conductivity. On a weight-to-weight basis, the electrical conductivity of this metal is twice that of copper

Assertion (A): Polyamides are best used as fibres because of high tensile strength.

Reason (R): Strong intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding within polyamides) lead to close packing of chains and increase the crystalline character, hence, provide high tensile strength to polymers.
