17. Write some advantages of synthetic fibres.
Answer: Some advantages of synthetic fibres are:
• Synthetic fibres are strong so they can take up heavy things easily.
• Synthetic fibres retain their original shape so it's easy to wash and wear.
• Can easily be stretched out.
• Synthetic fibres are generally soft so they are used in clothing materials.
• Varieties of colours are available as they are manufactured.
• Clothes made by synthetic fibres are generally cheaper than those made by natural fibres.
18. List all the properties of plastics.
Answer: The properties of plastics are:
• Resist corrosion
• Resist high temperatures
• Insulate heat and electricity
• Elastic
• Thermoplastics can be recycled
• Not reactive to chemicals and water
• Water resistant
• Soft when hot
19. Why is it advised not to wear synthetic clothes while working in a laboratory or working with fire in the kitchen?
Answer: It advised not to wear synthetic clothes while working in a laboratory or working with fire in the kitchen because they melt on heating. If the cloth catches fire it can be very disastrous. The fabric melts and sticks to the body of the person wearing it.
