Explain why aluminum is used in producing kitchen wares?

Cooking utensils, such as pots, pans and menu trays, are often made from aluminium because it is lightweight and conducts heat well, making it energy-efficient for heating and cooling. These properties also make it a preferred material for packaging.

Explanation:

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
