Bronze it is a substitutional alloy of copper and tin
An alloy. Two types: substitutional (brass and bronze), or interstitial (steel).
It's substitutional because Copper and Zinc have close atomic radius, so they substitute each other. if one of the elements is small enough to fit between the larger atoms then it forms an interstitial .
subtitutional alloy and interstitial alloy
Its one of these four body centered cubic substitutional face centered cubic interstitial
Brass is a substitutional alloy. Due to the similar size of the two elements copper and zinc which make brass one can not fill the interstitial space between the other elements atoms. This means that it can not be interstitial. The elements are however close in all the necessary aspects to form a substitutional alloy. They are relatively even in size, have the same crytal structure and have similar electronegativities. This allows one element to replace the other which in the case of brass where copper is the solvent, zinc atoms become a substitution for the copper atoms
Mabye it is ,,,,, mabye it isnt ,,, whats it to ya ?? mabye if your willing too ,,, err ,,, negotiate , if you know what i mean
Definition of Substitutional and interstitial solutions
Brass is a substitutional alloy in which copper atoms in the host crystal are replaced by the similarly sized zinc atoms. World of Chemistry, McDougal Littll. page 459
Probable you think to substitutional alloys when atoms of the solute replace an atom of the solvent.
Two elements that have atoms of very different sizes means that the cast iron is likely a substitutional alloy.
these are called alloys steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, and other substances to give it specific properties. bronze and brass are alloys of copper and tin or copper and zinc.
