Question

what are alloys?What are its properties?​

Answer 1

$\bold\red{Answer}$

$\bold\orange{Alloys:-}$ An alloy mixture is stronger because it contains atoms of different sizes from different elements.

$\bold\orange{properties:-}$

Alloys, in general, are stronger and harder, less malleable, less ductile, and more corrosion-resistant than the alloy's main metal.

Answer 2

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.
