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
What else can I help you with?
Is brass Cu and Zn a compound or element or mixture?
3 parts copper and 2 parts zincThat might be a good recipe for a bronze alloy but alloys are not considered chemical compounds.
What is the molar mass of yellow brass?
The molar mass of yellow brass, which is a combination of copper and zinc, depends on the specific composition of the alloy. On average, yellow brass has a molar mass around 65-70 g/mol.
Is brass a non ferrous alloy or a non ferrous metal?
yes. It is a non ferrous metal in that it is an alloy of copper and zinc. Ferrous refers to iron, the elemental symbol for iron is Fe.
What is symbol for bronze?
brass is not an element therefore doesnt have a symbol, it is an alloy(mixture) of copper and zinc.
Can you find steel bronze and brass in the periodic table and why not?
Steel, bronze, and brass are not found in the periodic table because they are alloys, which are mixtures of two or more elements, with at least one being a metal. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, while bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. These alloys do not have individual entries in the periodic table because they are combinations of elements.
Is brass a pure compound?
No, brass is an alloy.
Is brass an mixture?
No, it's an alloy which is a compound.
Is brass a compound or an element?
Brass is not an element it is an alloy of zinc and copper
Is brass a mixture element compound or a solution?
brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Is brass A mixture of elements and compound?
Neither, it is an alloy of Zinc and Copper. The difference is, in a compound, the elements are chemically bonded together, so a Copper Sulphate crystal is a compound of Copper, Sulphur and Oxygen - CuSO4. An alloy is a solid mixture made by melting two metals together. The Zinc is not chemically bonded to any of the Copper.
Is brass an compound?
Brass is not a compound, because its atomic composition can vary from one sample to another. Instead brass is a mixture, of the special type called an alloy, because it is a mixture primarily of metals.
What is the alloy of copper and brass?
Brass is the alloy of copper and zinc.
What is brass is it a compound element or mixture?
Brass is an alloy (a kind of solid solution, i.e. a mixture) of zinc, copper, and occasionally some other stuff.
Is brass nonmetal or a copper?
Brass is an alloy made by combining copper with zinc. It is not a nonmetal; it is a metallic alloy.
Is brass a mixture of element or mixture of compounds?
It is an alloy of copper and zinc, therefore it is a mixture, since a compound is chemically formed while an alloy is just a dissolving of one metal in another. See the link below for more explanation.
Is brass an element?
No, it's not an element. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. There can optionally be traces of other elements typically arsenic.Brass is neither an element or a compound. It is an alloy.
Is brass pure?
brass is an alloy
