Why are only a few metals suitable for making jewellery? Class 7
Answer:
Only a few metals like gold and silver are suitable for making jewellery.
- They are lustrous.
- They do not react easily with air or water, so they do not lose their shine over time.
- These metals are also soft, which allows them to be easily shaped into various designs.
Gold is so ductile that one gram of it can be drawn into a 2 kilometre long wire!
