Answer: Polythene

Polythene is a synthetic polymer classified as plastics.

Explanation:

Polythene is formed artificially from several repeating units of ethene molecules (monomers) in a reaction known as polymerization.

The polyethene can be represented as [CH2-CH2]n, where n is thousands to ten thousands unit of ethene.

It is used to make

- plastic bags,

- cable insulators

- plastic crates etc

Thus, polythene is a synthetic polymer of ethene, and classified as plastics.

Answer:

Polyethylene

Explanation:

They are man made polymers consisting of several long chain monomers of the same chemical composition. It has a chemical formula of (C2H4)n where n is the number of units or chain.

It is the most popular synthetic polymer due to its easy, simple structure and lightweight compared to other synthetic polymers produced commercially.

It is used in making grocery bags, automobile parts etc.

Akimi4 [234]
The primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis is falsifiable but a theory has been proven to be correct. An hypothesis is a proposed explanation put forward on the basis of limited evidence as a commencement point for further investigation, at the end of the investigation the theory may not be accepted if it failed to meet some criteria. A theory is a proven system of ideas used to explain a particular phenomenon.

chubhunter [2.5K]
Momentum is a term used to quantify the motion of an object has. It is calculated as the the product of the object's mass and the velocity. It is expressed as:
Momentum = m x vMomentum = 50 kg x 5 m/sMomentum = 250 kg m/s
Therefore, the correct answer is the last option.

Write the chemical equation for the formation of HI from the single, isolated H and I atoms.
mart [117]

Answer:

H2 + I2 → 2 HI.

Explanation:

Hydrogen iodide is a diatomic gas which can be readily formed from the direct combination of the elements involved which is hydrogen and iodine. Both elements can be combined by irradiating the mixture with an electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength which is equal to that needed to break the iodine molecule bond between the two iodine atoms
