Aloys

: Pure metals are often too soft for industrial use because their uniform atoms slide over each other easily. Alloying introduces different-sized atoms that disrupt this regularity, making the structure harder. Major Alloy Classifications 2025 Science P2 (Chemistry) - ALLOYS || Intensive Revisions

: Metallic bonds involve a "sea" of delocalized electrons attracting positive metal ions, which provides high conductivity and melting points. : Pure metals are often too soft for
