The question is asking whether an alloy can be classified as a heterogeneous mixture, which involves understanding the properties and composition of alloys versus mixtures.
Answer
Homogeneous mixture.
The final answer is that an alloy is a homogeneous mixture.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that an alloy is a homogeneous mixture.
More Information
Alloys are typically a homogeneous blend at the molecular level, meaning their composition is uniform throughout. This results from the metals or other elements being thoroughly mixed together. However, in some instances, they might become heterogeneous if there are crystallites after solidification.
