One main difference is that plastic is a synthetic material made from polymers, while iron is a naturally occurring metal. Another main difference is that plastic is typically lighter and more flexible, whereas iron is heavier and more rigid.
Iron is the best conductor of heat among the materials listed. Wood and cloth are poor conductors of heat, while plastic falls somewhere in between.
Magnetic materials: -steel -iron -nickel -cobalt Non-magnetic materials: -aluminum -copper -zinc -gold -silver -wood -plastic -glass Note: Not all forms of Iron are magnetic.
Two examples are plastic and wax. Both plastic and wax are non-polar substances and therefore do not dissolve in water, which is a polar solvent.
Magnets stick to materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to certain alloys and other magnets. Materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not generally attracted to magnets.
An iron bar is a conductor of electricity due to its ability to allow the flow of electrons. Iron has a high electrical conductivity compared to insulators like rubber or plastic.
