  3. Contents • Introduction—Metals —Plastics • Metals : Aluminium • Plastics : Polystyrene • Comparison—Properties —Uses

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.
