∙ 12y agoyes, brass is a alloy and zinc is a element.
metallic elements are usually weaker than alloys because the atoms of a metal CAN slide through each other while this allows bending of a metallic element quite easy (e.g. aluminum foil (Al) can be bent easily) and since most alloys contain carbon atoms, the carbon atom will make it harder for the alloy's metallic atoms to slide through each other and hence giving it's strength because with the addition of carbon atoms it is harder for the metallic atoms to slide through each other..
