An alloy is a solution of metals and/or combined with one or more non-metals. It is a solution because one metal (solid) dissolves in another metal (solid) and may contain other elements (solid) as well. An alloy retains the properties common to metal, but is not pure metal.
Examples:Brass (copper and zinc)
Steel (iron and carbon)
Bronze (copper and tin)

Why are metal alloys an example of a physical change and not a chemical change?
They are a physical change because it is not like burning where a new substance is being formed.
What do alloys and synthetic fibers have in common?
What do alloys and synthetic fibers have in common?
Do alloys produce heat resistance?
Alloys can add heat resistance to a metal
Where are alloys found?
Metal alloys are used whenever a pure material does not have the desired characteristics. For example, pure gold is beautiful, but relatively soft and does not keep its shape well. A gold alloy is just as pretty, but is hard enough to resist dents. Iron is hard, but rusts quickly. Steel, an alloy of iron, carbon and other metals, is harder and more durable.
What are the advantages of alloys over the original metals from which those alloys have been formed?
They are easy to shape into new things They are unlikely to break and very solid
What alloys is aluminum used for?
We use aluminium to make alloys. Alumina is a example.
Are bronze and brass an example of alloys or compounds?
copper
Why are alloys sometimes instead of pure substances?
Alloys are metal mixtures. For example, Sterling silver is a mixture of silver and copper.
What are two mixture example?
mixing paints and mixing alloys
Why you use alloys?
Usually because alloys are stronger or otherwise have better properties in one way or another.
What are several important alloys of the transition metals?
For example all steels.
What is the plural possessive of alloy?
The plural form of the noun alloy is alloys.The plural possessive form is alloys'.Example: We've tested all of these alloys' strength.
What are 2 different alloys and explain what they are made out of?

What is an example of a homogeneous mix?
Metal Alloys Vinegar Water Blood Plasma
What can be made out of ore?
it means to ore the iron into an object example car alloys
What is a solid homogeneous mixture?
Alloys are homogeneous mixture of at least two metals: bronze (Cu, Sn) and brass (Cu, Zn) are example of two copper alloys.
What are examples of mixtures of elements?
Examples: a mixture of powders of iron and cobalt, a mixture of carbon and sulfur, a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, etc.
