Option 1 : It has a dull appearance
Explanation:
- Electroplating is the process of coating the thin layer of metals with desired metal to resist rust.
- Chromium metal has a shiny appearance.
- It is used for electroplating so that it does not corrode and resist scratches over the objects.
- It does not corrode easily as it is not very reactive with oxygen and gives a lustrous appearance.
- Chromium is expensive and it may not be able to make the whole object out of chromium.
- The object is made from a cheaper metal and only a coating of chromium over it is deposited.
Thus, the false statement in the context of chromium plating is that it has a dull appearance.
Other processes:
|
1. Galvanizing |
A thin layer of zinc is applied to prevent the corrosion of iron or steel. |
|
2. Tinning |
A layer of molten tin is deposited on metals. |
|
3. Anodization |
Metals like copper, and aluminum are coated with a thin and strong layer of their oxides using electrolysis. |
|
4. Electroplating |
A less reactive metal is coated on a more reactive metal by electrolysis. |
|
5. Alloying |
The homogenous mixture formed by mixing metal with other metals or non-metals in a certain proportion is called an alloy. |
|
6. Pickling |
Removing layers of basic oxides from metals before electroplating. |

7. Poling |
Poling is a method used to purify metals that have oxidized impurities |
