Q3 of 65 Page 18

Aluminium is used for making cooking utensils. Which of the following properties of aluminium are responsible for the same?

(i) Good thermal conductivity


(ii) Good electrical conductivity


(iii) Ductility


(iv) High melting point

Aluminium has good thermal conductivity and high melting point. As a good conductor of heat, it helps in heat transfer and cooking of food. With the high melting point, one can cook food in such utensils at higher temperatures and the aluminium utensils can withstand such higher temperatures without being melted by the heat.
