Question

Which of the following groups contain all synthetic substances?

• A. Nylon, Terylene, Wool
• B. Cotton, Polycot, Rayon
• C. PVC, Polythene, Bakelite
• D. Acrylic, Silk, Wool

Answer 1

The correct option is C

PVC, Polythene, Bakelite

Explanation for the correct option:

(c ) PVC, Polythene, Bakelite

• Synthetic materials are created by chemically altering the initial ingredients to produce a material with distinct properties. Synthetic fibers are malleable.
• They can be used to produce garments as well as other items.
• PVC is an abbreviation for Poly Vinyl Chloride. PVC is a polymer derived from the polymerization of vinyl chloride. As a result, synthetic
• Polyethylene, often known as polythene or polyethylene, is a widely used material. It is a man-made fibre.
• Bakelite was the first thermosetting plastic made entirely of synthetic materials. As a result, all are synthetic fibers.
• Hence this option is correct.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

(a) Nylon, Terylene, Wool

• Here wool is a natural fiber and Nylon is semi-synthetic fiber.
• Thus, this option is incorrect.

(b) Cotton, Polycot, Rayon

• Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that forms around the seeds of cotton plants in a boll or protective capsule.
• The fiber is essentially entirely cellulose. As a result, it is not synthetic.
• Thus, this option is incorrect.

(d) Acrylic, Silk, Wool

• Here wool and silk is a natural fiber.
• Thus, this option is incorrect.

Hence the correct option is (c ) PVC, Polythene, Bakelite
