Question

Under which category of mixtures will you classify alloys and why?

Answer 1

Alloy:

• An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal.
• Alloys are considered a homogenous mixture as it has a uniform composition of solids(metals or non-metals).
• Usually, transition metals are involved in the formation of alloys.
• An example of an alloy is Brass which is a mixture of Copper$\left(\mathrm{Cu}\right)$ and Zinc$\left(\mathrm{Zn}\right)$ metals.

Thus, an alloy is considered a homogenous mixture.
