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 is the molar mass of yellow brass?
Yellow brass is an alloy, and thus can be present with a variety of percentages of copper and zinc. There is no definite molar mass.
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.
Alloyed with copper to make brass?
Zinc
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.
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.
What type of substance is brass?
Brass is a chemically combined compound consisting 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.
Is brass an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Brass is a homogeneous mixture because it is an alloy consisting of copper and zinc. Alloys are made from combinations of different metals. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform in their compositions.
What material made of two or more elements at least one of which is metal?
An alloy. Two types: substitutional (brass and bronze), or interstitial (steel).
What is the alloy of copper and brass?
Brass is the alloy of copper and zinc.
What is the molar mass of yellow brass?
Yellow brass is an alloy, and thus can be present with a variety of percentages of copper and zinc. There is no definite molar mass.
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.
