State that metal objects are electroplated to improve their appearance and resistance to corrosion
Explain that distilled water is used in practical chemistry rather than tap water because it contains fewer chemical impurities
Describe the uses of metals in terms of their physical properties, including: (a) aluminium in the manufacture of aircraft because of its low density (b) aluminium in the manufacture of overhead electrical cables because of its low density and good electrical conductivity (c) aluminium in food containers because of its resistance to corrosion (d) copper in electrical wiring because of its good electrical conductivity and ductility
