What must happen for a natural resource to become a synthetic material? (1 point)
• It needs to go through a chemical reaction.
• It needs to be pounded very thin.
• It needs to be dried out.
• It needs to go through a phase change.
• It needs to go through a chemical reaction.
To transition a natural resource into a synthetic material:
1. It needs to go through a chemical reaction. This involves altering the chemical composition of the natural resource by combining it with other substances or subjecting it to specific conditions.
Note: The other options mentioned, such as pounding it thin, drying it out, or undergoing a phase change, do not necessarily lead to the creation of a synthetic material. They might be applicable in certain cases or stages of the process, but they alone do not enable the transformation into a synthetic material.
