An Alloy is two metals mixed together.
it is the combination of one or more elements, usually metals. the mixture of elements in an alloy gives it new properties that are different from the properties of the individual element. it often eliminates disadvantages of the pure metal .

What is solution in chemistry?

In chemistry, a solution is the same as a homogeneous mixture (see the Related Questions for information on mixtures in chemistry). Basically, a solution has two things in it, a Solute being dissolved and a Solvent doing the dissolving. Now, solutes always make up the majority of the mixture.Another type of solution (one that doesn't involve a liquid) is an alloy. An alloy is a combination of two or more solid elements (metal). For example, steel is an alloy, because it is made out of elemental metals, like iron.


What is Chemistry Folio Form 4 chapter 9 alloy?

In Chemistry Form 4, Chapter 9 discusses alloys. An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one of them is a metal. Alloys are used to improve the properties of metals, such as making them stronger, more resistant to corrosion, or altering their melting points. Examples of alloys include steel (iron and carbon), bronze (copper and tin), and brass (copper and zinc).

What word is used to describ a metal made by combining other metals?

I think you're looking for "an alloy." According to the Wikipedia page, "An alloy is a partial or complete solid solution of one or more elements in a metallic matrix." But as I've learned in a non-scientific sense, when you melt a bunch of metals and mix 'em together, you've got an alloy.
