CBSE/NCERT_Metals and Non Metal Questions answer class 8
Very short answer questions
1. Why are musical instrument and bell made up of metal?
Ans: Musical instrument and bell are made up of metal because metal produce ringing sound when struck by something.
2. Why are electric wire made up of copper?
Ans: Electric wire is made up of copper because copper is god conductors of electricity.
3. Why sodium and potassium stored in kerosene?
Ans: Sodium and potassium react quickly with oxygen at room temperature so they are stored in kerosene oil
4. Why is phosphorous stored under water?
Ans: phosphorous rapidly burn in air at room temperature so it is stored under water for safety.
5. Why silver and gold do not react with hydrochloric acid?
