Answer:
(a)The strength of natural fibers is very less as compared to synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are heavy in weight. Natural fibers can be damaged by moths and other insects. These fibers are not wrinkle-free. These fibers are not long lasting and hence not durable.
(b) Cellulose is termed as polymer because it is made up of many monomer units.
(c) Rayon is first man- made fibre it is known as artificial silk because it have properties that are similar to silk.
(d) Rayon possesses many properties of natural fibers since it is a semi-synthetic fiber. Nylon is a synthetic fiber and has properties that are completely different from natural fibers. The key difference between rayon and nylon is their resistance to wrinkles and tears.
(e) Nylon has since become a popular choice, as it has excellent wind resistance, good elasticity, mildew resistance, and is comparatively cheaper. The material is also lightweight and dries quickly.
(f) When the piece of cotton is burnt then it burns completely and produces no odour or smell. When nylon is burnt, It completely burns and produces burning paper like odour. When nylon is burnt then the nylon is completely shrink and starts to melt first and then produces odour during the time of burning
