Alloys are homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal that cannot be separated into their components by physical methods.

(i) The electrical conductivity.

(ii) Melting point of an alloy is less than that of a pure metal.

e.g., Brass and Bronze are not good conductors of electricity whereas copper is used in making electrical circuit.

e.g., solder has a low melting point.
