Q.3.12. Give reasons:
(a) Platinum, gold and silver are used to make jewellery.
There are three main reasons for why platinum, gold and silver are used to make jewellery :-
(i) They are lustrous in nature.
(ii) They are very low reactive elements, thus they don't corrode easily.
(iii) They are found in low quantity so that makes them costly and not available for all. Hence these are used as a sign to show status in society.
