A polymer is a single chained molecule that is  made up of repeating subunits called monomers. In contrast, a composite is a material that is made from combining two or more molecules with similar physical or chemical properties to produce a hybrid molecule.

Plywood- it is a composite made from sticking together thin strips of wood with glue to ake stable sheets.

Plastic- a polymer made of repeating units called monomers of some kind of organic compounds.

concrete- is a composite made from mixing water cement and rocks. The mixture is not repeating and can branch in different ways which discounts it from being a polymer.

fiberglass- is a composite made that has no repeating units but made from plastic and glass fiber.

paper- is a polymer made of a repeating units of a specific monomer.

nylon- is a polymer manufactured by reacting repeating units of monomers.

The illustration depicts the formation of an ionic chemical bond between lithium and fluorine atoms. Why is the resulting compou
valkas [14]
<span>lithium and fluoride ions are arranged in an alternating three-dimensional crystal lattice. It's not possible to really isolate a single Li-F pair in the solid state. The many positive-negative electrical attractions hold the solid together. Ionic compounds are usually solids at room temperature since these electrical attractions are quite strong.</span>

An adult mosquitoes lifespan is about 16 days how many minutes is that
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is 23, 040 minutes. To solve this you can start by changing days in to hours. We know that there are 24 hours in a day. To find how many hours are in 16 days you multiply 24 by 16 which is 384. Next you must find out how many minutes are in 384 hours. we know there are 60 minutes per hour. To find how many minutes are in 384 hours, you multiply 384 by 60. To this you get 23, 040 which is your answer.
