Question

Statement 1: A mixture of pure metal is an alloy. The melting point of an alloy will be lower than either of the compound metal
Statement 2: the new bonds are weaker
(A) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is correct explanation of Statement 1
(B) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1
(C) Statement 1 is correct but statement is not correct
(D) Statement 1 is not correct but statement is correct
(E) both the statement 1 and statement 2 are not correct

Answer 1

Alloys may be either solid solutions of metallic elements which are the same composition of individual crystals of metals, or a mixture of metallic phases consisting of at least two different solutions, which resulting microstructures consisting of different types of crystals inside the alloy.

Complete answer:
Alloy means a substance formed with a combination of two or more metals. This is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or metal and non-metal. These alloys are prepared by first melting the compound metal, which is a higher melting point than other elements dissolved at definite proportions and then cooled at room temperature.
Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Formation of alloys with a new metallic bond, which is weaker between atoms due to the lower melting points. The arrangement of metals in the alloy is irregular than the pure metal. Hence, the new metallic bond is weaker.
So, statement 2 is also correct.
Therefore, both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1

The correct option is A.

Note:
The prevents corrosion of rusting of iron by painting, oiling, greasing, galvanizing, or making alloys. The alloying method is a very impressive method to improve the properties of the metal. For example, making an alloy of small amounts of carbon with iron can be hard and strong.
