Video transcript

Hey everyone, we're asked to determine if the statement below is true or false and if the statement is false, identify the incorrect part. Their most setting plastic, such as vulcanized rubber can be reshaped easily. Looking at the statement, we do know that vulcanized rubber is in fact a thermo setting plastic so that part of the statement is correct. However, it is shaped through an irreversible chemical process so that part of the statement will be false and we can change that by changing our word can two cannot and that is due to the irreversible chemical process. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
