the atoms are held together because they a chemically combined.
Brass
Usually it is copper but it can be a combination depending on the hardness wanted. .925 sterling has .075 of solute.
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver. It is a combination of silver and copper. Silver is alloyed to reduce porosity, eliminating fire scale, and increase the resistance to tarnish.
92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals usually copper, but sometimes zinc or platinum
the solvent for sterling silver is silver and the solute is copper-8%

No, sterling silver is an alloy containing copper to make the metal stronger. Thermal (and electrical) conductivity is highest to lowest as follows: Silver, sterling silver, copper, aluminum, then brass. The latter is an alloy of copper and zinc.
the solvent for sterling silver is silver and the solute is copper-8%
Sterling silver is not a solution, it is an alloyof silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.
