NO, because it is a mixture of two or more elements, containg, at least one metal.

Alloys cannot be considered compounds, since the different components of an alloy are not chemically bound together. Instead, they are just mixtures of different metals, easily separated by physical means. Some examples of alloys are brass (zinc and copper alloy), stainless steel (iron and chromium alloy), and sterling silver (silver and copper alloy).

Most conventional alloys contain two or more metals and other elements melted together and then cooled to solidify. Newer alloying methods, not requiring the ingredients to melt, are powder Metallurgy and ion implantation.

An alloy is a mixture of Metals.

A mixture is a combination of elements in an unfixed ratio.

A compound is a mixture of elements in a fixed ratio.

Yep. Simple steel is the most obvious. Iron mixed with a touch of carbon makes a harder alloy than pure iron.

What does a alloy contain?

An alloy is a metal that has been mixed with another metal. Aluminum alloys could contain zinc, copper, or silicon (not limited to). Gold alloys can contain copper or silver. Aluminum alloy is created to be stronger and more corrosion resistant than plain aluminum. Gold alloy is created to be cheaper. Many more alloys exist.


What is at least one component in every alloy?

Many alloys contain iron.


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 all alloy contain only two metal?

NO, because it is a mixture of two or more elements, containg, at least one metal.


Why do ionic compounds need at least one metal?

Ionic compounds do not require the presence of a metal, for example ammonium chloride is ionic and does not contain a metallic element. What is true is that the majority of ionic compounds involve at least one metal.


What are mixed up metals?

Alloys are a mix of more than one metal.


Do alloys rust faster than pure elements?

Only IRON Rusts. Alloys that contain iron may rust. Other alloys do not RUST. They may oxidise. Stainless Steel which is an alloy of iron,.nickel and chrome does not rust. , hence its name Stainless Steel.


What is heavier ferrous or non ferrous metal?

Ferrous metals are metallic compounds (or alloys) that contain Iron. Iron is neither the most or least dense metal. So a compound (or alloy) made of the same component metals but with Gold instead of Iron would no longer be ferrous but would be heavier and one with the same components but using Aluminium would be lighter.


What are alloys in aluminium?

Aluminium alloys are alloys of aluminium, often with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesum. A alloy is more than one metal combined to make a greater property


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.


Why you use alloys?

Usually because alloys are stronger or otherwise have better properties in one way or another.


What it the alloy of copper an zinc?

Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
