An alloy mixture is stronger because it contains atoms of different sizes from different elements.
Alloys, in general, are stronger and harder, less malleable, less ductile, and more corrosion-resistant than the alloy's main metal.

Alloys are those substances that are a mixture of one or more metals.
- When more than two elements are melted and mixed with each other in a proper ratio then an alloy is formed.
Examples of alloys are
- Brass: is a mixture of copper and zinc.
- Bronze: is a mixture of copper and tin.
Properties of allows are as follows:
- Alloys are stronger and harder as they contain atoms of different elements that are of different sizes.
- Alloys are less malleable i.e. cannot be easily hammered or pressed to take shape.
- Alloys are less ductile i.e. cannot be easily drawn into thin wires.
- Alloys are corrosion resistant i.e. they have the ability to prevent electrochemical reactions.
Thus, alloys are very important substances as they are used everywhere in our environment.
