Answers & Explanations

1. Honey
Honey does not conduct electricity. Honey is a solution of sugars. So, it does not
conduct because it does not have ions or charged particles.

Vinegar and lemon juice conduct electricity but they are weak conductors of
electricity.

Due to the presence of small amounts of acids in it, rainwater becomes a conductor
of electricity.

2. vinegar, lemon juice, salt solution.

Vinegar, lemon juice, salt solution are conductors of electricity. 

Vinegar and lemon juice conduct electricity but they are weak conductors of
electricity.

Salt solution is a very good conductor of electricity.

3. make it corrosion free and scratch resistant.

Electroplating is done to make the metal corrosion free and scratch resistant. It also
enhances the look of the substance.

Electroplating is the process of depositing a thin layer of a desired metal over a

metal object, with the help of electric current. 
4. A is cathode, B is anode, AgNO3 is electrolyte

Here, A is the spoon (the cathode), the metal on which electroplating is to be done.
It is a negative electrode, connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

B is the anode, the silver layer which has to be deposited on the spoon. It is a
positive electrode, connected to the positive terminal of the battery.

Silver nitrate solution is the electrolyte which is a solution containing the salt of the
metal to be deposited (silver).

5. cycle handle
Cycle handle is generally electroplated. Electroplating is the process of depositing a
thin layer of metal like zinc on another metal to prevent corrosion and make it more
attractive.
