Question

Which physical properties of metals are used in the following situations?
1) Gold is used to make ornaments
ii) Nickel is used in strings of guitar.​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) Platinum Gold and silver are used to make jewellery because of the following reasons. They are highly lustrous metals which are resistant to corrosion. They are highly malleable and ductile so can be transformed into any shape or design.

ii) Ductility. Ductility is a property of metals by which they can be drawn into long wires.The winding on the thicker strings is made of nickel-plated steel. The steel that the string is made of is great for the magnets in the pickups to “pick up” while the nickel-plating helps to balance out the bright sound of the steel.
