Yes, the incorrect statement is:
C. Plastics are ductile.

Here's why:
Ductility is the ability of a material to be drawn into wires. Plastics, in general, are not known for their ductility. They are more likely to break or fracture than be drawn into wires.
Plastics are well known for being chemical resistant, durable, and excellent electrical insulators.

The incorrect statement is "Plastics are chemical resistant".

Plastics are generally resistant to some chemicals, but they are not resistant to all chemicals.

For example, plastics can be dissolved by certain solvents, and they can also be corroded by certain acids and bases.

The other statements about plastics are all correct. Plastics are durable, ductile, and excellent electric insulators.

Plastics are ductile this is a correct statement. So, the answer is not C.

Ram said:   5 years ago
Option A is correct.

Swain lipan said:   5 years ago
Answer D is correct.

Amitbhaskar Bhaskar said:   5 years ago
A is the right option.

Sudarshan said:   6 years ago
Answer is absolutely right. Not all the plastics are ductile. Thermosetting plastics are brittle in nature.

Question is asking incorrect statement. So all option are correct except option A. So correct answer should be A.

Vijay Jaiswal said:   6 years ago
Plastics are Ductile, Durable and also Good Insulators but less resistant to chemicals, so option A is correct.

Gautam Nesarikar said:   7 years ago
Yeah, plastics can be converted to the wire. So ductility is possible.

But, also plastic is a good insulator. So both are correct.
