8th Science Chapter 3 - Synthetic Fibres and Plastics[Solved Questions]
Q. Name some natural fibres? Answer: Fibres obtained from plants or animals is called natural fibres for examples cotton, wool, silk, etc. Q. What do you mean by synthetic fibres? Answer: Fibres made by human beings using chemical substance is called synthetic fibre. A synthetic fibre is a chain of small unit of chemical substance joined together. These small units combine to form a large single unit called a polymer. The word ‘polymer’ comes from two Greek words; poly meaning many and mer meaning part/unit. So, a polymer is made of many repeating units. Q. Name a polymer occurs naturally? Answer: Polymers that occur naturally is cellulose. Cellulose is made up of a large number of glucose units. Q. Name a fibre having properties similar to that of silk. Answer: Rayon. Q. Although rayon is obtained from a natural source, wood pulp, yet it is a man-made fibre. Why? Answer: This is because rayon is obtained by chemical treatment of wood pulp. Q. Why does Nylon become very popular for making clothes for mankind?

Answer: Fabric made from Polyester fibre does not get wrinkled easily. It remains crisp and is easy to wash. So, it is quite suitable for making dress material. Terylene is popular polyester. Q. Name a form of polyster which is used for making bottles, utensils, films, wires and many other useful products? Ans: PET: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is made from two monomers, terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, by the process called condensation polymerization Q. Name the chemical used to make polyster? Answer: Esters are the chemicals used to make polyster. Q. Why synthetic fibres are more popular than natural fibres? Answer: Synthetic fibres dry up quickly, durable, less expensive, readily available and easy to maintain which makes them more popular than natural fibres. Q. Identify the Synthetic fibre appears to resemble wool? Answer: acrylic.
