Question

1. Which of the following properties of silicon is not exploited in the manufacture of non-stick cookware

• A. high resistance to heat
• B. poor electrical conductivity
• C. non - stick nature
• D. high resistance to chemicals.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

poor electrical conductivity

Explanation for the correct option -

(B) No electrical conductivity is required in cooking process.

Explanation for the incorrect option -

(A) High resistance to heat property helps the utensils made of silicon to attain a long life

(C) Non-stick nature provides non-sticking of the eatables cooked in the utensil.

(D) High resistance to chemicals provides for no reaction of silicon with the cooking items cooked in the vessel.

Hence the option (B), poor electrical conductivity is not exploited in manufacturing of non-stick cookware.
