Question

what of the following is an advantage of the thermal properties of plastic? (1 point)
plastics are easy to mold into any shape
the thermal conductivity of plastic is very high, making it a good material to transmit heat
plastics are safe to use in microwave ovens
heating plastics eliminates the risk of bpa exposure

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Plastics have low thermal conductivity which makes them good insulators. Option 1 is about mold - ability (not a thermal property). Plastics generally have low thermal conductivity, not high (so option 2 is wrong). Not all plastics are safe in microwaves, and heating plastics can release BPA instead of eliminating it. Plastics being easy to mold into any shape is an advantage related to their physical - thermal property as they can be heated and shaped.

Answer:

Plastics are easy to mold into any shape
