The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks why Teflon is used as a non-stick coating in utensils like frying pans. We need to evaluate the properties of Teflon in relation to friction. 2. **Identifying the Properties of Teflon:** Teflon is a type of polymer known for its low friction properties. It is specifically designed to reduce the sticking of food to surfaces. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** The options provided are: - Very large friction - Very little friction - No friction at all - None of these 4. **Evaluating Friction in Cooking:** When cooking, if a surface has high friction, food tends to stick to it. Teflon, however, is engineered to minimize this sticking by providing a surface with very little friction. 5. **Understanding Friction in Real Life:** It is important to note that while Teflon provides very low friction, it cannot provide zero friction. All materials have some level of irregularity that contributes to friction. 6. **Conclusion:** Based on the properties of Teflon and its application in cooking, the correct answer is that Teflon offers "very little friction" to the food, preventing it from sticking to the surface of the frying pan. **Final Answer:** Teflon is used for non-stick coating in utensils like frying pans because it is a material that offers very little friction. ---
