Bronze can refer to any of several alloys with major components of copper and tin. Other metals commonly found in bronzes include lead and zinc (if zinc is more present than tin the alloy is often refereed to as brass). Still others are found less commonly. These include iron, nickel, antimony. For especially tough service such as boat propellers phosphorus is added. When anti-corrosive properties are desired aluminium often replaces tin in the bronze formulation. Bismuth is added to make bronze shinier. Bells are often made of bronze at a ratio which makes them resonate well but some bell bronzes contain silver for a more mellow tone. Tibetan singing bowls are often a seven metal bronze alloy which include gold and silver.

Is bronze made of one element?
no it is not. you can find all the known elements on a periodic table of elements online or in a science textbook
Why is brass steal and bronze not in the periodic table?
Brass is a compound (or to be technically correct, an alloy) made from the elements zinc and copper. Both of these elements can be found in the transition metals section of the periodic table.
Are bronze and brass an examples of a type of mixture called an salt?
Bronze and brass are copper alloys, not salts.
Was bronze discovered before brass?
Bronze was probably alloyed before brass, yes. Bronze is copper and tin. Brass is copper and zinc. Bronze is the alloy most commonly found in ancient tools. But native copper itself was discovered before the alloys were.
What transition element is used to make both brass and bronze?
COPPER- alloyed with zinc it makes brass and alloyed with tin it makes bronze.
Why aren't brass and bronze elements?
Brass and bronze are both alloys: metals made by combining two or more metals. Because alloys contain two different types of molecules, brass and bronze aren't elements. * Brass is composed of copper and zinc * Bronze is composed of copper and tin
Can you find steel bronze and brass in the periodic table and why not?
You can't because they are not elements.
Is bronze made of one element?
no it is not. you can find all the known elements on a periodic table of elements online or in a science textbook
Is gold silver copper iron and nickel pure elements?
yes they are, but steel brass and bronze are mixtures of elements
Can two different elements for a metallic bond together?
Yes, this occurs in alloys, such as brass or bronze
What contains 2 elements?
Many alloys contain two elements, for example Brass is copper + zinc, Bronze is copper + tin.
What is difference between brass and bronze?
The biggest difference between bronze and brass is the density, mass, and weight. Bronze and brass are also made of different metals.
What is more valuable brass or bronze?
bronze, brass is a very simple metal
Name 5 matals that are pure elements and 3 that are mixtrures?
Iron, copper, silver, mercury, sodium are metal elements. Bronze, brass, amalgam are alloys
Why is brass steal and bronze not in the periodic table?
Brass is a compound (or to be technically correct, an alloy) made from the elements zinc and copper. Both of these elements can be found in the transition metals section of the periodic table.
What non ferrous alloys were used by pre Iron Age metalworkers?
Bronze and brass. Bronze is made from copper and tin. Brass is made with copper and zinc
Are bronze and brass an examples of a type of mixture called an salt?
Bronze and brass are copper alloys, not salts.
