Quesiton 12. Give reasons
(a) Platinum, gold and silver are used to make jewellery.
(b) Sodium, potassium and lithium are stored under oil.
(c) Aluminium is a highly reactive metal, yet it is used to make utensils for cooking.
(d) Carbonate and sulphide ores are usually converted into oxides during the process of extraction.
Answer:
(a) Platinum, gold and silver are used to make jewellery because these are low reactive metals so rarely corrosion occur (In silver) and hence do not lost their shine and lustre.
(b)The reaction of these substances with oxygen is highly exothermic which may cause fire, also they react with water to form base so they are kept in oil.
(c)This is because aluminium is good conductor of heat and electricity. To prevent its reaction with food at high temperature a protective layer of aluminium oxide (Al2O3 ) is formed which prevent further corrosion.

  10. King of all the purest of pure gemstones, the diamond stone is always in vogue among all the jewellery lovers around the globe. Any piece of jewellery which is studded with diamonds need no explanation about its beauty, grace and grandeur, because the shimmering stone shows it all. Diamond denotes love, royalty and passion and the same reflects in the jewellery adorned with diamonds. You have to wear it...to feel it. Scottsdale diamonds
