उत्तर
- Aluminium is malleable, soft and does not react with food items, so it is used to wrap food items.
- Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity, so immersion rods are made up of metallic substances.
- Sodium and potassium are very reactive, they react with air and water, so they are stored in kerosene.
