A pure metal is just that; that metal, thus pure metals contain just one metal.
For example aluminium foil contains just aluminium atoms.
Alloys are one or more metals/elements that make up the metal, e.g C and Fe in steel.

What do you call metals that contain other elements mixed with them?
A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties. Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.
Is potash metallic?
Yes, It is. The name "potassium" comes from the word "potash", as potassium was first isolated from potash. Potassium is a soft silvery-white metallic alkali metal that occurs naturally bound to other elements in seawater and many minerals.
Does the air contain non-metal elements?
Air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the final 1% is made up of argon, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. There is a possibility that air could also contain many bacteria and viruses from humans sneezing.
A compound must have at least one metal atom and one non metal atom?
No. Chemical compounds contain two or more different elements. H2O is a compound that does not contain a metal.There are many other examples, all the organic compounds for instance.
How many electrons does Metallic copper have?
Copper is a metal element. There are 29 electrons in a single atom.
What is the metal used for making tubings of firetube boiler?
The tubes for fire tube boilers are usually made out of metal composites and can contain lead, steel and/or other metallic elements or alloys. Fire tube boilers are generally very large and many are made for use in locomotives.
How many different elements in a grain of sand?
It depends upon the source of the sand. Mostly sand is Silicon and Oxygen, but it could contain iron and other metallic elements.
What is a rock that contains a mineral?
Many rocks contain minerals that contain metallic elements. Rocks that contain metallic elements that can be economically refined into quantities of useful metals are called metallic ores. Bauxite, for instance, is the common rock ore which is refined to produce the metal aluminum.

There are more metallic elements than non-metallic elements?
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
What is metal salts?
Examples are: nitrates, chlorides, sulfates, phosphates and many other.
How many are the metallic elements in the periodic table?
84 of the 112 elements are metals.
Is potash metallic?
Yes, It is. The name "potassium" comes from the word "potash", as potassium was first isolated from potash. Potassium is a soft silvery-white metallic alkali metal that occurs naturally bound to other elements in seawater and many minerals.
What kind of bond is formed between metal and metal?
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
