Question

Which of the following statements is not correct regarding alloys ?

A.

They are harder than metals.

B.

They are corrosion resistant.

C.

They have higher melting point than metals.

D.

They are more ductile than metals.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is they are more ductile than metals.
Alloys do not necessarily have higher melting points than their constituent metals. An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal. When metals combine to form an alloy, the final product's characteristics-including its melting points depend on the properties and ratios of the combined elements. Some alloys, such as solder (an alloy of lead and tin), have lower melting points compared to their constituent metals to serve their specific purpose (in this case, to melt and flow into joints between metal workpieces). However, it's important to note that some alloys can have higher melting points, but it's not a blanket rule for all alloys.
