Question

Hailey is preparing a debate on the benefits of using synthetic polymers over natural polymers, and she wants to create a list to get started. Which should she include in her list? Check all that apply.
Synthetic polymers are biodegradable.
Synthetic polymers are flexible.
Synthetic polymers are recycled cheaply.
Synthetic polymers are inexpensive to produce.
Synthetic polymers are lightweight.
Synthetic polymers are strong.
Synthetic polymers are resistant.
Synthetic polymers are typically produced in large quantities.

Answer 1

Answer;

• Synthetic polymers are flexible.
• Synthetic polymers are inexpensive to produce.
• Synthetic polymers are lightweight.
• Synthetic polymers are strong.
• Synthetic polymers are resistant.
• Synthetic polymers are typically produced in large quantities.

Explanation;

• Synthetic polymers are types of polymers that are artificially made in the laboratories or in industries. Most of them are derived from petroleum products through the process of polymerization.. They are therefore human-made polymers.
• Synthetic polymers includes; polyester, nylon and polyethene among others.
• Synthetic polymers have good mechanical properties, chemical properties and weather resistance ability depending on the structure and the processing of the polymer.

Answer 2

The things that she should include in her list should be that synthetic polymers are flexible, can be recycled at a lower price, are lightweight as compared to natural ones, are resistant and are most importantly they are being produced in large amounts.
