What are metals that been mixed together called?

What are mixed metals?
Mixing metals we can obtain alloys or inter-metallic compounds.
What properties of metals allow them to be recycled?

Is metal a compound element or mixture?
it depends. A lot of metals are elements like iron for example, these can be mixed to form alloys(compounds) steel for example is an aloy of carbon and iron. Metals exist as mixtures when they are found in their ores(mixed with other metals and minerals) and must be separated from their mixtures by smelting.
Why are alloys prepared?
Alloys have useful properties that are not found in the pure metals from which they are mixed. You can make alloys that are stronger, lighter, more corrosion resistant, and so forth, as compared to pure metals at a comparable price range.
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
What does mix with gold?
Gold can be mixed with Mercury - formation of an amalgam; also gold can form alloys with many other metals.
