Question

Why are tea cups generally not made of metals?

• A. Metals are good conductors of heat
• B. Metals are bad conductors of heat
• C. Metals are expensive
• D. Metals have no temperature

Answer 1

The correct option is A Metals are good conductors of heat

Metals are good conductors of heat, as they allow heat to pass through them easily. So, when a hot liquid like tea, is poured into a metal cup, the cup would get hotter quickly, and it could burn our hands. Hence, the cups are usually not made of metals. Instead, they are made up of porcelain or any other non-metal that is a poor conductor of heat.
