Solution
Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin.
Explanation:
Bronze is a solid alloy composed primarily of 88% copper and 12% tin. It is used in the production of hardware, utensils musical instruments, medals, and other items. Due to its resistance to corrosion caused by seawater, it is used in submerged bearings and ship propellants.
