Question

Non-metals can't be used to make vessels but metals can. Why?

• A. Non-metals are not sonorous.
• B. Metals can be drawn into wires, i.e. they possess ductility.
• C. Metals are good conductors of heat whereas non-metals are not.
• D. Non-metals are not lustrous.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Metals are good conductors of heat whereas non-metals are not.

Metals are good conductors of heat and have high melting points and are therefore used to make cooking vessels. Non-metals don't show these properties.
