For a heating element, you want to use a metal with a high electrical resistance, and a high melting point (obviously). If this heating element is going to be exposed to air and/or water, it also needs to be corrosion resistant. Nichrome - Wikipedia, which is an alloy of nickel and chromium, is usually a good choice.
Alloys generally have higher resistance than the pure metals that they are made of, because the alloy disorder of the atoms causes additional electron scattering.

b) The conductors of electric heating devices such as bread toasters and electric irons are made of alloy because
◾resistivity of an alloy is more than that of metals.
◾It produces large amount of heat and do not burn easily.
I hope, this will help you___❤❤
