What substance are not an alloy?
Substances like pure gold (Au), pure copper (Cu), and pure iron (Fe) are examples of materials that are not alloys because they consist of a single type of atom in their structure.
Why are airplanes made from aluminium alloys rather than pure alloys?
Alloys basically mean "a mix". A "pure alloy" would mean a pure mix. That doesn't really work. Alloys are generally used instead of pure metals b/c the characteristics of the Alloys are better than those of the pure metals. Aluminium Alloys are generally considerably stronger than pure aluminium while still being pretty much the same weight.
Into what two broad classes can all matter be divided?
Pure substances (elements and compunds) and mixed substances (mixtures, solutions, alloys).
Alloys are commonly used in manufacturing. Which of the following is not a reason to use an alloy instead a pure metal?
Alloys are not used instead of pure metals when the desired properties of the pure metal are specific, such as in cases where high electrical conductivity or chemical purity is required.
Are gold and copper in a ring a pure substance?
Gold and copper in a ring are not pure substances. In most cases, the gold and copper are alloys, meaning they are a mixture of multiple elements. Alloys are often used in jewelry to enhance the properties of the metal, such as hardness and color.
Why are alloys used instead of pure metals?
Because alloys often have better properties than their parent metals. Stronger, rust resistant etc
Why alloys of aluminium are used to make aircraft bodies instead of pure aluminium?
Alloy aluminum is lighter in weight.
Why do we use alloys instead of pure metals?
Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys tend to be stronger though not necessarily. Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys, which are a mix of two or more metals, and therefore get dented, scratched, or broken more easily. Gold used in jewelry is a good example. Metal alloys have different structural and behavioral characteristics than pure metals. Alloying a metal also gives it a different appearance. In some cases alloys may result in a lighter metal without sacrificing other necessary characteristics. They may also be more cost effective.

Do all impure substances looks like a mixture?
No, not all impure substances look like mixtures. Impure substances can be in the form of solutions, alloys, or compounds in which the impurities are evenly distributed and not visually distinguishable from the pure form.
What are three advantages of some alloys when compared to pure metals?
Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys are stronger - or tougher (toughness is resistance to fracture). Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys and therefore tend to get dented, scratched, or broken/fractured more easily. Alloys are often lower cost than pure metals but not necessarily so. As an example, stainless steel is more expensive than pure iron.
What appears to be a pure substance but is not?
Alloys.
