An alloy is a type of metal (specifically, it's a solid solution of dissimilar metals). All alloys are metal, but not all metals are alloys ... pure metals (pure gold or pure copper, for example) are not alloys.
Should oxidation or reduction be done to extract metals from their compounds?

Why do people mix pure metals such as gold with other metals?
to cause stronger metals
Are most elements metals or pure?
Any metal that is not an alloy of a metal with other elements (metals, metalloids, or nonmetals) is a pure element. All of the metals listed on the Periodic Table are pure elements.
Examples of pure metals?
Iron, zinc, mercury, and aluminum are pure metals commonly encountered.
What is a blend of metals that has properties different from the pure metals?
That is called an alloy.
What are all the pure metals?
