Solution
The correct option is A Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1 Both statement right and statement 2 are correct Explanation.
Note : [alloy is the mixture of different metals .each metal having different size and structural arrangements. The different sizes of atoms in an alloy make their arrangement less regular than a pure metal. This makes the bonds between the atoms weaker and lower melting point.
