Question
Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of a metal with a metal or non-metal. Which among the following alloys contain non-metal as one of its constituents?
Options
Brass
Bronze
Amalgam
Steel

Solution
Steel
Explanation:
Steel is an alloy primarily composed of iron (a metal) and carbon (a non-metal). While other elements like manganese or chromium may be present, carbon is a key constituent that significantly influences steel properties, such as strength and hardness.

Identify Ionic compounds from the above given substances.
| A process of forming a thick oxide of aluminium when aluminium is exposed to air. This coat makes it resistant to corrosion. Resistance can be improved by making a layer of oxide thinker. In this technique, the aluminium article is the anode, and the electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The anode reaction results in the formation of a black-coloured film of aluminium oxide on the anode. By putting appropriate dyes in the electrolytic solution, both coloured surface with the decorative finish is achieved. Kitchen articles like anodised such as pressure cookers, pans and frames of sliding windows are applications of this technique. |
