Question

Which chemical element is alloyed with Copper to make Bronze?

Answer 1

A homogenous mixture of metal with another metal or a nonmetal results in the formation of an alloy.

• When Tin $\left(\mathrm{Sn}\right)$ and Zinc are alloyed with Copper it results in the formation of Bronze.
• In bronze, the composition of Copper, Tin, and Zinc is 80%, 10%, and 10% respectively.
• Bronze is used in making cooking utensils and it is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
• Therefore, Tin and Zinc elements are alloyed with Copper to make bronze.
