Do you have a definition what plastic actually is? You know, i have a class and i have to write about plastic. Booooo
You look not-plastic....more like real.
An organic polymer, such as polystyrene or polyethylene.
basically is made mainly of carbon and hydrogen. You may note plastics have lots of poly names eg polystyrene, polythene, as we called them polymers that have made from smaller monomer units by various processes Also you may want to think of plastics as like cooked spagetti, they are long chains. . Eg to make polythene you have ethene and break the double carbon bonds and then they make long chains for ethenes we call polythene. We get a lot of out plastics from oil actually as its carbon based!! The different plastics are made up of different polymers so have different properties which we find highly useful. You can make casein plastic by heating milk and adding vinegar and separating the solid and then molding it (it doesn't smell nice, but its a plastic).
