Why artificial fibres catch fire faster than natural fibre pl explain in 200 words. Pl do it fast!

Dear Student,

The synthetic fibres have a chain like molecular arrangement or cross-linked arrangement of the molecule. They are very thin and light weight. Natural fibers has heavy and closed packed structure of the molecule, which makes it thick than the synthetic fibres. Heavy close structures have less changes to catch fire and if catches, burn more slowly than light, thin, or open fabrics like synthetic fibres. In general, synthetic fibre clothing is more likely to catch fire than natural fabrics. Fabrics with more of the fibre surface area exposed to air have more oxygen available to support burning and therefore burn more easily. Therefore, artificial or synthetic fibre catches fire faster than the natural fibre.
