b. How do you expect synthetic materials to compare to the natural resources used to make them?

Question

The synthetic materials have different properties from the raw materials because chemical reactions did not take place.

The synthetic materials have different properties from the raw materials because chemical reactions took place.

The synthetic materials have the same properties as the raw materials because chemical reactions did not take place.

The synthetic materials have the same properties as the raw materials because chemical reactions took place.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the comparison of synthetic materials to the natural resources used to make them is:

The synthetic materials have different properties from the raw materials because chemical reactions took place.

Synthetic materials are typically created through chemical processes that alter the composition and structure of the raw materials, leading to differences in properties such as strength, flexibility, and resistance to degradation compared to their natural counterparts.
