A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties.
Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.

What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.
What other metals are magnetic apart from nickel and cobalt?
The ferromagnetic metals are iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, dysprosium and holmium. These metals are capable of holding a strong magnetic field. There are many ferromagnetic alloys that contain one or more of these metals along with other elements that are capable of holding even stronger magnetic fields than the pure metals themselves. This is due to the other elements in the alloy allowing larger domains to form.
What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
Is ore metal or non metal?
Ore is not a metal itself; it is a natural material from which metals can be extracted. Ores typically contain one or more metals in combination with other elements, such as oxygen, sulfur, or carbon. The metal is separated from the ore through processes like smelting or leaching.
Does the earth crust contain metals?
Yes, usually in combination with other elements, but sometimes as native elements.
Explain why other elements are often mixed with metals to make alloys?
Alloys have improved features compared with single metals.
Which of the atoms of nitrogen gas are metals and which non-metals?
Nitrogen is an element. It is not contain atoms of other elements. It has no metallic atoms.
What does mercury bond with to form goldironzinc and other metals?
Nothing. Gold, iron, zinc, and other metals do not contain mercury, they are elements made of nothing but themselves.
What do you call metals that are uncombined with other elements?
You would call them pure metals or simply elements, when a metal is mixed with another, usually for dual properties (e.g steel and aluminum alloy - in planes because it is light and strong) it is called an Alloy.
What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.
Can the element cobalt be mixed with any other element?
Yes, cobalt can be mixed with other elements to form alloys. It is commonly mixed with other metals such as iron, nickel, and chromium to create alloys with specific properties for various industrial applications.
What periodic elements are in the star delta scorpii?
Stars contain hydrogen and helium and some other minor constituents as metals.
Is a metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties?
A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties. Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.
What are minerals that contain metallic elements called?
Minerals that contain metallic elements are called ores. These ores are valuable natural resources that can be mined for the extraction of the metallic elements they contain, which are often used in various industries such as manufacturing and construction.
When metals react with other elements what happen to the valence electrons of the metals atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Is metal a compound element or mixture?
it depends. A lot of metals are elements like iron for example, these can be mixed to form alloys(compounds) steel for example is an aloy of carbon and iron. Metals exist as mixtures when they are found in their ores(mixed with other metals and minerals) and must be separated from their mixtures by smelting.
