If an alloy is a mixture
Mixture of two pure metals
Two solid solution
Two compounds
Pure metal and solid solution and so on
Under equilibrium conditions ,
Example: H20
NaCl :
One Na atom and one Cl atom combined to form the molecule
this molecule is the smallest unit
has the properties of compound.
Atoms are held in a definite bond.
Bond: Generally strong, atoms are not separated.
In compounds, elements lose their individual properties.
Cl poisonous gas,
Whose chemical compositions are intermediate between the two pure metals
2. Interstitial compounds
3. Electron compounds
Intermetallic compounds/valence compounds
Formed between chemically dissimilar metals
Combined by following the rules of chemical valence
They have strong bonding (ionic or covalent)
Example: CaSe, Mg2Pb, Mg2Sn and Cu2Se
Properties : nonmetallic
Poor ductility
Poor electrical conductivity
May have a complex crystal structure
Interstitial compounds
Formed between transition metals
Transition metals such as Scandium, Titanium, Tantalum, Tungsten, Iron
With
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Boron and nitrogen
Metallic
Narrow range of composition, high melting points and are extremely
hard
Examples
TiC, TaC, Fe4N, Fe3C, W2C, CrN and TiH
