Answer 2

Answer:

Uses of metals:

1. Metals have been an integral part of our daily life since ancient times. They have played an important part in the development of different civilisations. Even today, metals are used for a variety of purposes in our day-to-day life. The most commonly used metals, in everyday life, are iron, copper, aluminium and silver.

2. Iron is the most widely used metal. It is used for making cooking vessels, water boilers, stoves, toys, tools, pipes, agricultural implements, chains, wires, nails, bolts, electromagnets, and so on.

3. Aluminium, being a very light metal, is used for making aircraft bodies. It is also used for making cooking vessels. Its thin foils are used for packaging of food stuffs and medicines.

4. Copper is the most widely used metal for making electrical cables and other electrical goods. It is also used for making cooking vessels.

5. Silver is used for making jewellery, decoration pieces, tableware, etc. Silver, being highly malleable, can be converted into very thin foils which are used for decorating food items. Silver is a very good conductor of electricity, but it is not commonly used for electrical fittings because it is very expensive. Silver and gold wires are however, used for high precision electrical contacts in computers.

Uses of non-metals:

1. Nitrogen, in the form of fertilisers, is essential for the growth and development of seeds and plants.

2. Phosphorus is used in matchbox industry and in fertilisers.

3. Iodine is used as an antiseptic.

4. Sulphur is used for making fire crackers, gun powder and sulphuric acid.

5. Oxygen is essential for survival of all living beings.
