Question

The two main metals in Bronze are:

• A. Copper and zinc
• B. Copper and lead
• C. Copper and nickel
• D. Copper and tin

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Copper and tin

Alloys are the type of homogeneous mixtures which are prepared by mixing two or more metals, or a non-metal and metal together in their molten state.

Explanation for correct option (d): Copper and tin

Bronze is a type of alloy which contains copper, tin, and zinc.

Its composition is $80\%$ copper, $18\%$ tin, and $2\%$ zinc. Copper and tin are present in bulk so, it can be said that it is made of copper and tin.

Bronze contains more tin as compared to zinc (only $2\%$ of zinc).

Therefore, option (d) Copper and tin is correct.
