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.

What is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal?

An alloy is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal. Alloys are typically made by combining a metal with one or more other elements to enhance specific characteristics such as strength, hardness, or resistance to corrosion. Examples of alloys include steel, bronze, and brass.


What substance is the oxide of a metal?

The oxide of a metal is a compound formed when a metal reacts with oxygen. It contains oxygen and the specific metal element as cations. Oxides of metals are often solid compounds and can have various properties and uses based on the specific metal involved.


What are the properties of nonmetal elements?

element that is not metal


What 3 properties that can be used to classify elements?

they can be metal, metalliod or non-metal


Which group contains elements with the most varied properties?

The transition metal group contains elements with the most varied properties. This is because transition metals have multiple oxidation states, can form colorful compounds, exhibit catalytic properties, and have high melting points among other characteristics.


How many metallic elements does a pure metal contain?

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.


Do elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of non metals are called halogens?

Halogens refer specifically to a group of elements in the periodic table (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine) with distinct properties, rather than elements with mixed metal/non-metal properties. Elements with mixed properties are often referred to as metalloids or semimetals, such as Boron, Silicon, Arsenic, and Antimony.


What metal it cutely made of?

Metal is typically made of elements such as iron, aluminum, copper, and others. These elements are combined through various processes like smelting and alloying to create different types of metals with specific properties and uses.


What elements lack most of the properties of metal?

It nonmetal ! I know this one! I had it on a worksheet!


What is the reason to classify the metal and non metal?

Elements are classified into matals and non metals due to different properties of both. Some elements have properties in between and are called metaloids. The reason for the classification is to make their study easy.


Steel is a metal or non metal?

Steel is mostly iron, which is a metal, but a lot of steel contains carbon, which is a nonmetal.
