What is the highest in boiling point an alloy or a pure metal?
Generally, an alloy has a higher boiling point than a pure metal due to the presence of different elements in the alloy that can form stronger bonds and interactions, increasing the overall boiling point of the material.
Give an example of an alloy and tell how it's properties may make it more useful than a pure metal?
An alloy is less reactive and much stronger, instead of using a pure metal it may be reactive and weaker.
Is a metal and an alloy the same thing?
An alloy is a type of metal (specifically, it's a solid solution of dissimilar metals). All alloys are metal, but not all metals are alloys ... pure metals (pure gold or pure copper, for example) are not alloys.
Is alloy soft?
The hardness of alloys is very different; alloys have generally a hardness higher than the pure metal.
Is a brass screw a pure substance?
No, a brass screw is not a pure substance. Brass is an alloy made up of copper and zinc, so it is considered a mixture rather than a pure substance.
Why are metal things often made of alloy rather than pure metal?
Alloys allow certain metals to be stronger, or lighter, or both
Why a metal alloy behaves differently to a pure metal?
A metal alloy behaves differently than a pure metal because the different chemical properties of the metals in an alloy both contribute to the alloy's properties. Certain alloys may be stronger than the original metals because one metal may fill a "gap" in the other's structure. Of course, other properties besides strength are also changed in an alloy.
Why are aroplanes made from aluminum alloy rather than pure aluminum?
Pure aluminum is not strong enough as building material for airplanes. Alloy with Al are stronger.

Is bronze more valuable than silver?
No, the opposite. And at that, bronze is an alloy, and not one pure metal
In what way is an alloy better than a metal in pure form?
An alloy is better than a metal in pure form in the way that an alloy contains some extra materials possessing some different properties which would prevent it from getting corroded easily and thus increase its life span for using purposes.

Why should you not use an alloy instead of a pure metal?
Alloys can have different properties than pure metals, which can affect the performance of a product. In some cases, pure metals are preferred for specific applications where purity is crucial for conductivity, corrosion resistance, or other factors. Using an alloy instead of a pure metal can also impact the cost and manufacturing processes.
Steel is an example of a useful?
An alloy is a mixture of different metals or of a metal with a non-metal. Steel is a combination of iron and carbon.
