Chemistry ‘’Natural vs. Synthetic´´
Ana Paula Sada 3A #15
1. What is a natural substance?
Is a chemical compound or substance produced by a livingorganism found in nature.
2. What is a synthetic subtance?
Is a substance that is man-made by synthesis, (a combination of two or more entities that together form something new, refers to thecreating of something by artificial means), rather than being produced by nature. However, it may also refer to a substance or compound formed under human control by any chemical reaction.
3. Analyze:All natural products are ‘’good’’? All synthetic products are ‘’bad’’? Explain.
While most people believe that 'natural' equals 'non-toxic,' this isn't necessarily the case. Many naturallyoccurring chemicals can have harmful effects on humans. Some are healthy or usable in our daily lives and some are toxic and harmful. Natural products are important in the treatment of life-threateningconditions, such as medicines (gotten from plants), vitamins, fruits, vegetables, wheat, meat, chicken and more else. So not just because it says natural means its ‘good’ for you, there are many things sotoxic that you could die by touching or tasting it.
Synthetic products not necessarily are bad, they can improve the product by adding new ingredients, and form a better product. Products made fromsynthetic ingredients produce waste products in the process of their creation. They may also require the use of hazardous or toxic chemicals in the production process, even if the final product itselfis not hazardous or toxic. Thus, when toxicity and effectiveness of a product are virtually equivalent, the 'all natural' product is definitely the better choice.

4. Conclusion:
There areseveral differences between synthetic and natural products. Some people believe that natural products are the more useful of the two, but this is often not the case. Although synthetic products are...
