What is a simple definition of 'alloy'?

An alloy is a blend of 2 or more metals. For example, brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, because you blend zinc and copper to get brass. The properties of any metal can be changed by mixing other substances with it, this mixture is called an alloy. Another definition would be: "An alloy is an element added to another element to change its characteristics." Almost all metals are alloyed. Some with multiple elements.


What does the term alloy mean when talking about metals?

Alloying of a metal is when you mix one metal with another thus forming an alloy.


What element is mixed with steel?

Almost any metal might be included in a steel alloy. The simplest alloy that is called steel is an alloy of just iron and carbon. But it is the ratio that is important (e.g. cast iron is also an alloy of just iron and carbon, but it has too much carbon making it too brittle to be steel). There are also a few nonmetals (e.g. boron, silicon) that might be included in a steel alloy.

Is bronze an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Bronze is an alloy. I've never heard of classifying metals as homogeneous or heterogeneous. If I had to put it in one, well it's definitely not heterogeneous, because that would consist of a mixture of dissimilar components. An alloy has a uniform 'mixture' of elements, so I guess that would make it homogeneous!

No elements if formed when carbon is added. When carbon , or any other element/metal is added , it is a mixture , known as an ALLOY. For various steels, the initial element is IRON, when carbon is added to form an alloy known as STEEL.
