A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties.
Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.

What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.
What other metals are magnetic apart from nickel and cobalt?
The ferromagnetic metals are iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, dysprosium and holmium. These metals are capable of holding a strong magnetic field. There are many ferromagnetic alloys that contain one or more of these metals along with other elements that are capable of holding even stronger magnetic fields than the pure metals themselves. This is due to the other elements in the alloy allowing larger domains to form.
What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Does the earth crust contain metals?
Yes, usually in combination with other elements, but sometimes as native elements.
What are minerals that contain metallic elements called?
They may be called "ores" but the term includes other minerals that contain valuable elements that are not metals.
Explain why other elements are often mixed with metals to make alloys?
Alloys have improved features compared with single metals.
Which of the atoms of nitrogen gas are metals and which non-metals?
Nitrogen is an element. It is not contain atoms of other elements. It has no metallic atoms.
What does mercury bond with to form goldironzinc and other metals?
Nothing. Gold, iron, zinc, and other metals do not contain mercury, they are elements made of nothing but themselves.
What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.
What is copper and gold made of?
Well they are both elements thus do not carry any other metals like Iron does, but Gold is very soft when pure so it is usually mixed with other metals to strengthen.
What periodic elements are in the star delta scorpii?
Stars contain hydrogen and helium and some other minor constituents as metals.
Is a metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties?
A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties. Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.
When metals react with other elements what happen to the valence electrons of the metals atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
What do you call metals that are uncombined with other elements?
You would call them pure metals or simply elements, when a metal is mixed with another, usually for dual properties (e.g steel and aluminum alloy - in planes because it is light and strong) it is called an Alloy.
Is metal a compound element or mixture?
it depends. A lot of metals are elements like iron for example, these can be mixed to form alloys(compounds) steel for example is an aloy of carbon and iron. Metals exist as mixtures when they are found in their ores(mixed with other metals and minerals) and must be separated from their mixtures by smelting.
