Sterling silver is an alloy of silver and another metal (usually copper). The alloy is a mixture of the 2 metals, not a compound. To be called sterling silver it needs to have at least 92.5 percent silver.
Pure silver is too soft to be useful (such as in silverware or jewelry). The alloy has the advantage of being stronger than pure silver. See related Wikipedia article.
Sterling silver is a mixture.
Yes. Sterling silver is an alloy (metal mixture) containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% of another metal, such as copper.
The metal silver is an element. However, PURE silver is almost never used for jewelry- too soft. Instead a mixture of metals is used to create what is called Sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper.
A mixture of metals is normally called an alloy. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, often copper.
