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.

Plywood: Composite
Plastic: Polymer
Concrete: Composite
Fiber: Could be either or depending on the type of Fiber
Glass: Composite, yet made of polymers
Paper: Could be either. For example composite would be paper mache or recycled paper however plain paper would be polymer.
Nylon: Polymer

You are given a sample resembling silver. Which of the following properties could be used to help determine whether the sample i

defon

Answer:

the density of the sample - the melting point of the sample

Explanation:

Intrinsic property is the property of matter which exists itself or within subject. In other words, it do not depend on the mass of the sample. An extrinsic property is not inherent or essential to subject which is being characterized. In other words, it depend on the mass of the sample.

For example,

Density, melting point are example of intrinsic property. Whereas, weight, volume are an example of extrinsic property.

Intrinsic properties helps to determine the matter. Thus, density of sample and melting point of sample is the answer.

Why is graphite slippery when pressed? Select one: a. covalent bonds break b. hexagonal layers slide c. molecules of graphite sl

Ronch [10]

Answer:

hexagonal layers slide

Explanation:

The layers in graphite can slide over each other because the forces between them are weak. The delocalised electrons are free to move through the structure, so graphite can conduct electricity.This makes graphite slippery, so it is useful as a lubricant .
