Question

Bronze is a mixture of two elements, copper and tin.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Bronze is an alloy of Copper $\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$ and Tin $\left(\mathrm{Sn}\right)$ is classified as a mixture.

• This is because bronze contains two different substances (both elements) i.e., Copper and Tin.
• In the sense that bronze contains two types of constituent particles i.e., Copper atoms and Tin atoms, it is a mixture.
• Copper and Tin are in only a physically combined state.
• Bronze cannot be separated into its components by physical methods but bronze shows the properties of the elements it is formed of and hence treated as a mixture.
• Further, bronze is a homogeneous mixture as there is uniformity in the composition and properties throughout.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
