How many alloys are made?
Many alloys are made by melting metals and mixing them together in carefully measured amounts.
Metals include elements and alloys?
Alloys contain metals but also nonmetals.
What plutonium mixes with?
Plutonium can form many alloys with other metals.
Are alloys ore of metals?
Alloys are several metals, and possibly some other substances, mixed together.
Why are alloys harder than metals?
Alloys are not necessarily harder or stronger than pure metals. For example gallium and aluminum form an alloy that is extremely weak. Many of the alloys we know of are stronger than pure metals because those are the ones we find most useful. In most pure metals, there will be gaps in between atoms. In many alloys we fill in those gaps with some other type of atom, adding extra support.
What are the components of alloys?
Metals.
Solid solutions of metals or non metals dissolved in metals?
Alloys
Could cobalt react to other metals?
Cobalt form many important alloys with other metals.
Why are many metals used as alloys?
alloys are probably cheaper to make and stonger then an element or a simple metal. Alloys are easier to make. It is difficult to find a simple metal.
Explain why other elements are often mixed with metals to make alloys?
Alloys have improved features compared with single metals.
What does mix with gold?
Gold can be mixed with Mercury - formation of an amalgam; also gold can form alloys with many other metals.
Is a metal and an alloy the same thing?
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.
