An alloy is a mixture of metals (or metals with other elements such as carbon). Why you might use them in a practical depends on what you are trying to find out. It would be unlikely that you would use them in simple chemical reactions as you usually want pure substances for that. I wonder if you mean why are they good for practical applications? They often behave in different ways from their constituents and these behaviours make them useful. For instance a mixture of lead and tin melts very easily so it's used for solder. Steels are alloys of iron with carbon and other metals and can be made with a wide range of useful properties.

Are alloy bmx rims good?
An alloy is something you get when you mix two or more metals up, they're usually better in some way than either of the pure base metals.Most metal items that we use are alloys.But alloy as such doesn't say anything, it's like saying "is a meal containing meat any good". There can be both good and bad things made out of alloys.Before you can say if it's bad or good, you need to know brand and model, and not only that it's made from an alloy.
