(a) When a coat of paint is applied to the surface of an iron object, it prevents air and moisture to come in contact with the object; hence no rusting takes place.
(b) The electrical conductivity of copper alloys like brass and bronze is less than that of pure copper.
(c) It means that 22 parts pure gold is alloyed with 2 parts of either silver or copper for making ornaments; Silver and copper are usually alloyed with gold to make it harder.
