  • Metals like copper, aluminium and silver allow electricity to flow through them. They are good conductors of electricity. Other substances like plastic, rubber and cloth do not allow electricity to flow through them. They are insulators and are grouped under non-metals. Similarly, some metals like iron, copper, aluminium and steel get heated easily. They are good conductors of heat. Non-metals like paper and wood do not get heated easily. These are poor conductors of heat. Metals are malleable, ductile and sonorous. The reason for putting the handle of wood is

    A
    if the handle is made of another metal, it will not get hot
    B
    if the handle is made of another metal, it will not look good
    C
    if the handle is made of wood, it will not get hot
    D
    if the handle is made of wood, it will get hot.
