Answer 2

Answer:

1. Electroplating creates a protective barrier to reduce friction and prevent tarnishing of a surface as well as protecting surfaces from wear and tear by applying a thin, durable metal coating.

2. Coating a non-metallic surface with metal changes the surface qualities of an object.
