Uses of Metals — Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 (9.2) | Why Each Metal Is Used

You don't memorise these — every use follows directly from a property. Match the property to the job and the uses explain themselves. In this video I explain the uses of metals for Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry (0620), topic 9.2. We cover the uses of common metals and alloys and, more importantly, the property behind each one: copper for electrical wiring (good conductor), aluminium for aircraft and overhead cables (low density, doesn't corrode), steel for buildings and cars (strong), and alloys like brass and stainless steel where mixing metals improves the properties. We also look at why alloys are often more useful than pure metals. Once you link use to property, this topic becomes reasoning, not recall.
