If a metal-metal mixture is homogeneous, which class is most appropriate for it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solid in solid solution
Metal-metal mixtures are commonly considered alloys. When the metals are uniformly mixed in the solid state, the more abundant metal acts as the solid solvent and the other metal as the solid solute. Therefore the classification is solid in solid. The alternatives require a gaseous or liquid solvent, which is not described here.
