Metals • From metal ores by chemical or electrolytic reduction • Are lustrous, ductile, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. • Can be processed into alloys. • widely used in past & modern • world.
Plastics Made by raw materials from crude oil Major elements carbon & hydrogen Widely used in recent decades unique properties When being disposed of improperly environmental problems polyethene polystyrene
Aluminiums • Symbol: Al • Silvery ,ductile,lightweight metals. • Found primarily in bauxite ore • The most abundant metal in earth crust • Used to manufacture a large variety of products • Very important to world economy
Polystyrene It is colorless, hard with limited flexibility and a polymer made from styrene. Production Heat the mixture of styrene and kerosene pour it into methanol after cooling waxy, solid of polystyrene formed Danger Benzene, a material used to produce polystyrene,is human carcinogens.
