Synthetic chemistry is a study were we can make man made chemical compounds as there are several types of it they include polymers which divides into several topics such as polyester Polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene which all have different properties and aspects that can be taken advantage of in many applications. This topic I was given will help me explore the impact of synthetic molecules on developing technologies and daily life as well as the implications of synthetic molecules including their advantages and disadvantages.

The nature of plastic has paused a challenge in the industry of PVC manufacturing as when it is exposed to high temperature or ultraviolet rays, the heat can distort the plastic. As a results scientists needed to implement and use new scientific innovation to solve this problem thus came up with the idea of incorporating additives to the compound to give it the ability to resist or prevent the effect of heat and rays on the tensile strength of PVC. Therefore the solution of using heat stabilizers within the PVC compound was a successful one in terms that it gave it the property of resisting heat to keep its stiffness and durability.

(Click Slide). Molecular compounds are everywhere in our every day lives! Sugar cane, for example, is a molecular renewable compound. Although we do not think about it, all of our consumer products that we buy and use are made of molecular compounds that come from various natural resources. Natural resources can be categorized into 2 divisions: renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
While PVC will last for years, it is not quite as durable as aluminium is for skylights. Aluminium with outlast PVC since PVC can start to degrade when it reaches a certain age.
Chemical decomposition, analysis or breakdown is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds. Chemical decomposition is usually regarded and defined as the exact opposite of chemical synthesis. A single-displacement reaction, also known as a single-replacement reaction, is a type of chemical
A chemical reaction is a process by which atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form a different substance. Six types of chemical reactions are Synthesis, Combustion, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, and Acid/Bases. Each of these does something different, some combine to make a new product and some break down to make new products. Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. A description of Synthesis reaction would be taking a mystery element, called “A” and combining it with “B” and the new product would be what you get when you combine those two elements (AB). An experiment you can do to help with your understanding of Synthesis is making slime because you are using multiple reactants(glue, borax, and water) to create a single new product(slime). Two real life examples of Synthesis reaction is water and your lungs. The product of Carbon mixed with Oxygen is CO2, which is found in your lungs. Water is a synthesis reaction because it is a product of Hydrogen and Oxygen (Anne Helmenstine, Synthesis Reactions and Examples, 2017).
Humans have always exploited their natural environment for all their needs including food, clothing and shelter. As the cultural development of humans continued, they looked for a greater variety of materials to cater for their needs. The 20th century saw an explosion in both the use of traditional materials and in the research and development of a wider range of materials to satisfy technological requirements. Developments added to this was a reduction in availability of the traditional resources to supply the increasing world population. Chemists and chemical engineer continue to play a pivotal role in the search for new sources of traditional materials such as those from the
We found that Polypropylene was our 5th unknown. Polypropylene (C3H6) or more commonly referred to as PP, is used for labeling, packaging, textiles, and stationery. In 1957, the crystallization of polymer was discovered. Soon fabric was made from the polymer, and was in high demand. It can also be used for moldings of cars, film, tape, foam and carpet. Polypropylene can not be glued to any objects or itself, and so it is melded. After Polyethylene, Polypropylene is the highest produced synthetic plastic. Polypropylene also holds up well over time, which is one of the reasons that it is the second most produced plastic. The melting point is between 130-171 degrees celsius. Because polypropylene is tough and flexible it can be used as an engineering plastic. Finally, polypropylene can be used be manufactured into a living hinge. A
An example of synthesis is water. The equation for this is 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O.
Turf fields are shaping a better future for sports across the entire nation and the world. Across the country, more and more sports facilities, high school athletic complexes, etc. seem to be switching to synthetic turf fields. Artificial turf fields have become more popular over the course of the 2nd half of the 20th Century till the present day. Since they have become so popular, they have been studied closely to see what the differences are between them and natural grass fields. And in the last few years, these sorts of fields have gained a lot of scrutiny for their un-healthy surface and the cost of installing them. But with any disadvantages comes some advantages. Synthetic, athletic turf
Instead of breaking down molecules, Synthesis puts them together. Synthesis is know for giving an enormous amount of light and heat. A popular example of Synthesis is 2H2(g)+O2(g) -> 2H20(i). This example is of water going to fusion and forming hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.

Chemistry is the study of the composition, behaviour and properties of matter, and of the elements of the Earth and its atmosphere.
In real life, organic chemistry is the cause for such products as rubber, vitamins, and paper, while synthetic products such as nylon can be attributed to inorganic chemistry. Analytical chemistry stretches across many fields, such as oil and petroleum, food and agriculture, forensics, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, physical chemistry is a bit narrower, but it is still involved in various fields such as pharmaceuticals and materials. Biochemistry in real life usually takes the form of research into the complexity of a being’s inner workings, and can pay off in such was as medicines or cures for diseases.
Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed.
