How does fabric softener affect the flammability of different fabrics?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Karolina [17]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Research shows that fabric softeners decrease flame resistance. The flame resistance of a fabric can be increased in a variety of ways. Most often, the fabric is treated with special flame resistant chemicals. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, are naturally flame resistant. These fabrics have a property called thermoplasticity, where the fabric naturally melts and shrinks when exposed to flame. This prevents these fabrics from igniting and burning as easily as other fabrics. Basic properties of a fabric, such as porosity, can also influence flame resistance. Larger pores allow for oxygen to be more present in the fabric, making it more flammable.</span>

Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.
