Brass is a compound (or to be technically correct, an alloy) made from the elements zinc and copper. Both of these elements can be found in the transition metals section of the periodic table.

Because bronze is not an element. It is an alloy of two metallic elements, copper and tin. You will also not find brass, electrum, or pewter on the Periodic Table of the Elements for the same reason. They are alloys of elements, not elements themselves.

It is not in the periodic table because it is not an element in its purest form. Rather it is a compound or product of two elements which is why it is not in the periodic table.

These types of metals (the ones you have noted) are called alloys which is made by combining two or or metals.

For example, bronze is an alloy of copper, with tin as a primary additive to it.
