Question

Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of two or more elements. The elements could be two metals, or a metal and a nonmetal.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

Hint: The term alloy means an amalgamation of two or more elements. Note the base element in making an alloy.

Complete step by step answer:
An alloy is defined as “a combination of metals or metals combined with one or more other elements. For example, combining the metallic elements gold and copper produces red gold, gold and silver becomes white gold, and silver combined with copper produces sterling silver”.
The primary constituent in an alloy is a metal. An alloy is a homogenous mixture of two or more metals or non-metals or nonmetals mixed in a molten state. It can either be a solid solution of the elements of a single phase or a mixture of two or more metallic phases. Solid alloys give a single solid phase microstructure, and are therefore used where their properties are superior to those of pure component elements.
Some examples of alloys include - steel, solder, brass, amalgam, etc.
Therefore, the answer is = 1 (the given statement is true).

Note: The primary metal used to make an alloy is called the base, the matrix, or the solvent. The secondary constituents are known as solutes. The entire range of possible variations is called a system, (since the percentage of each constituent can be varied with any mixture).
All of the forms of an alloy containing only two constituents (like iron and carbon) is called a binary system.
All of the combinations possible with three alloys (such as alloys of iron, carbon and chromium) is called a ternary system, etc.
