Best Answer

To find out whether a substance is an alloy you look at the elements it is made of. If it made up of only metals (ie gold,silver,aluminum,copper) then you know it is an alloy. If the components are a metal and non-metal, it is an ionic compound. If the components are two non-metals it is a molecular compound.
