3. Polymer lots of monomers connected together. Plastics are polymers that come from petrochemicals. 4. Monomer is a small molecule generally made of carbon. 5. Polymerisation is fusing the monomers to make a polymer. 6. Polyethene is a common plastic that makes common materials such as cling wrap and plastic bottles. 7. A catalyst is something that speeds up a reaction without taking part in it. 8. Thermosetting polymers when heated it becomes charred and black and disintegrates. They have chain of stuff and between chains there are crosslinks and when energy is applied the links break apart and the whole thing disintegrates. Thermoplastic polymers when heated they become soft and can be moulded. They have chains that dont have crosslinks so when they are heated they dont break but slide past each other. 9. Thermosetting is more brittle then its counterpart. 10.Until 1940 all clothing was made of natural fibres. Includes silk, wool, cotton. 11.Nylon and polyester are commonly used synthetic fibres. 12.Rayon is a regenerated fibre made from cellulose. 13.Ceramics are made from clays. 14.Ceramics they are hard, high melting point, poor conductors of heat, chemical resistant, low density compared to metals. 15.Mixture in which the solute particles are too small to settle or to be removed through filtration. 16.Colloids include mist, muddy water and smoke. 17.An emulsion is a colloid of two liquids. 18.Cosmetics consist of chemical substances. 19.Skin creams consist of water and oils or waxes. 20.Fragrant compounds consist of essential oils extracted from plants. 21.Plaque is a film of saliva, bacteria and food particles. 22.Chemistry is organic and inorganic. Organic is the carbon crap and inorganic is all the other shit. Not including our shit cos thats organic. 23.Caron has 4 valence electrons. 24.Saturated means that it only has single bonds. Unsaturated has double bonds and more. 25.
