Question

Why are the tea cups generally not made up of metals?

• A. Metals are bad conductors of heat
• B. Metals are good conductors of heat
• C. Metals are expensive
• D. Metal tea cups are not durable

Answer 1

The correct option is B 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, cups are usually not made of metals. Instead they are made up of proclean or any other non-metal that is a poor conductor of heat.
