Answer
- When paint is applied on a surface it prevents air and moisture to come in contact with the object and prevents rusting.
- The electrical conductivity of copper alloys like brass and bronze is less than that of pure
- 22 carat gold is 22 part of pure gold is alloyed with 2 parts of either silver or copper for making ornaments. Silver and copper are usually alloyed with gold to make it harder.
