Any metal that is not pure (combination of two or more metals) is known as an alloy. For a list of alloys see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alloys

Where can you find pure metals?

Pure metals can be found in their natural state in mineral ores, where they are often combined with other elements. Some examples include gold and silver, which can be extracted through mining.

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.
