Which of the following is an example of a solution Iron metal, iron ore, iron alloy, iron rust?

An iron alloy (Explanation): Iron metal is a pure substance, so it cannot be a solution, so it's not that one. An iron ore is found in nature and is iron chemically combined with other substances, so it's not a mixture because mixtures aren't chemically combined. Iron rust is also chemically combined iron with oxygen, so it's not a mixure. Therefore, the iron alloy is the correct answer (btw, an alloy is where you heat the metal to a liquid and mix in other metals like zinc to make pennies and stuff)
