how is plastic made?
In: Chemistry
They are made out of oil.
How come you ask actually simple.We boil the oil and collect the boiled oil vapor and leftovers and add some chemicals to it. We add chemicals in order to stick the molecules in oil product one by one in order to produce a chain we call polymer(poly:multiple mer:part).
There are diffrent type of plastics because we add diffrent chemicals to diffrent type of oil products therefor plastic we make toys from is not the same with the one we make our cars tiers and we bottle our water with.
