Answer» ANSWER : ▶️(i) It is because rubber is an insulator and does not ALLOW current to flow through it. ▶️(II) Zinc is more reactive than hydrogen. Therefore, it can displace hydrogen from dilute HCL whereas COPPER cannot, because it is less reactive than hydrogen. ▶️(iii) It is because it is EASIER to reduce oxide ore as compared to sulphide ore. |
