That depends on the type of spoon and its construction:

  • metal spoons are usually an alloy (a metallic "solid solution" of several different elements) and are sometimes also electroplated with a thin layer of another metal (usually a pure element like silver) on the surface; rarely are pure elemental metals used for the whole spoon
  • plastic spoons are synthetic polymers (very complex organic compounds)
  • wooden spoons are natural polymers (very complex organic compounds)
  • ceramic spoons are inorganic compounds
  • etc.
