Question
Chapter 12, Problem 40E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The definition of an alloy is to be explained and the example of an alloy other than bronze is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Metal can combine with other metal in many different ways and forms a mixed substance. Such type of mixing of metals with other metals results in the formation of alloy. The alloy has no constant compositions. The properties of alloys are not constant.

- The first two drop downs are either: metal or nonmetal The last drop down is: ionic or covalent or metallicarrow_forwardChemical bonds are usually classified as either covalent or ionic. A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons. The resulting cluster of atoms is called a molecule, and the compound is considered to be molecular. An ionic bond results from a transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another. This creates oppositely charged ions that group together into large macroscopic lattices as opposed to small clusters. For this reason, ionic compounds are not considered to be molecular. As a general rule, covalent bonds occur between two nonmetal atoms whereas ionic bonds occur between a metal and a nonmetal atom.arrow_forwardAlthough both Br3 and I3 ions are known, the F3 ion has not been observed.
