Answer:

An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. It may be a liquid, a soft paste or a solid, depending upon the proportion of mercury. These alloys are formed through metallic bonding,[1] with the electrostatic attractive force of the conduction electrons working to bind all the positively charged metal ions together into a crystal lattice structure.[2] Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore. Dentistry has used alloys of mercury with metals such as silver, copper, indium, tin and zinc.

Answer:

In amalgam electrode the reactive metalline Na, K, Ca are diluted with mercury to reduce its reactivity .

Explanation:

An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. It  may hard or soft , liquid or solid mostly depend on the proportion of mercury present in the alloy. These alloys are formed through metallic bond with the electrostatic attractive  force of conduction electron.

Potassium amalgam is exothermic  and can form KHg and KHg2.

Sodium amalgam is an alloy of mercury and sodium ,mostly  use in organic chemistry as a reducing agent.

Calcium amalgam is also exothermic and can form CaHg2.

These amalgam can be used mostly for research purpose.
