What is a synthetic polymer?

Choose 1 answer

human-made polymers; they are generally found in consumer products or food packaging

a substance made up of many small molecules (monomers)

a tough, light flexible synthetic resin made by polymerising ethene, chiefly used for plastic bags, food containers, and other packaging

occur in nature and can be extracted; e.g. silk and wool

a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains
