An alloy is a) an element. b)a compound. c) a homogeneous mixture. d) a heterogeneous mixture.
Answers
Answer:
Homogeneous mixture because we are not able to differentiate the constituents in an alloy
Answer:
c) Homogeneous mixture
Explanation:
An alloy is defined as "a combination of metals or metals combined with one or more other elements. For example, combining the metallic elements gold and copper produces red gold, gold and silver becomes white gold, and silver combined with copper produces sterling silver".
The primary constituent in an alloy is a metal. An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or non-metals or nonmetals mixed in a molten state. It can either be a solid solution of the elements of a single phase or a mixture of two or more metallic phases. Solid alloys give a single solid phase microstructure, and are therefore used where their properties are superior to those of pure component elements. Some examples of alloys include - steel, solder, brass, amalgam, etc.
