Why is steel a better choice than another metal such as aluminium or lead?
Steel is sometimes a better choice due to it's strength. However aluminium and lead are sometimes better than steel in specialised applications.
How reactive is aluminum?
So reactive that any aluminium surface exposed to oxygen is oxidized. There is always alumina (micro-scopic layer) on aluminium surfaces. However, that layer seals the aluminium from further oxidation so you don't get a pile of alumina from a soda can!!
Does lead corrode?
Lead does corrode but it certainly does not corrode as easily as iron or steel. For example in electrolysis when you put metal in the water the bubbles start to form hydrogen and oxygen, this corrodes the metal. But lead will not corrode that easily in this process. Lead may corroded by sulfuric acid; but generally lead is very resistant to corrosion.
Is lead conductor?
Lead has high resistivity of current. So , lead is not conduct current. But lead has low resistivity of heat and it conduct heat..
What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
What is a non ferrous metal?
aluminium,zinc, tin, lead
What metal is very soft and does not oxidize easily?
This metal is lead.
Can you give some example of metal in the kitchen?
aluminium,copper,iron,lead,tin,
Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non metal?
There are four such elements. Namely aluminium, zinc, tin and lead.
Is lead easy to bend?
Yes, lead is a soft metal and can be bent pretty easily.
Which is a conductor of electricity iron aluminium lead or a safety pin?
All of these are metal, and thus conductors.
Why is steel a better choice than another metal such as aluminium or lead?

10 types of metal?
Iron Steel Stainless Steel Aluminium Brass Copper Titanium Lead Gold Silver
What is heavier a cubic meter of aluminium or lead?
Lead

What is a material that carries electrones easily?
Gold, silver, copper, aluminium, iron, and lead are all quite good. Most metals carry electrons easily. A material that does that is called a good "conductor".
