Q) Instead of taking the trouble of electroplating metals with chromium for making car parts , taps , cycle parts , etc., why are these objects not made up of chromium itself ?

A) This is because chromium is a very expensive metals . It is a metal which does not rust is resistant from scratches and has a shiny appearance . If we use chromium it will be a huge loss and it also be wastage of the resource chromium thus it is preferable to use chromium only for electroplating objects.
