Solution
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Explanation:
Brass is a metallic alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc, with the proportions of each varying to achieve different mechanical and electrical properties. The addition of zinc increases the strength and ductility of the copper while giving the material a distinct golden-yellow appearance. This makes brass highly popular for musical instruments, decorative items, and low-friction plumbing fixtures.
