Question

how does an alloy differ from a metal ?​

Answer 1

By definition, pure metals consist of a single element. Samples of these metals contain nothing but atoms of a single metallic substance. Alloys contain two or more elements or alloys melted and blended together, so their chemical formulas consist of more than one element.
