Brass is made from a combination of copper and zinc. The relative amounts of each element are varied by metalworkers to produce the desired properties. Is brass a compound or a mixture?

Mixture

Explanation:

Brass is an alloy. An alloy is a combination of two or more metals that gives rise to another metal to give a more desirable end product metal.

The metals combined are only physically combined. They still retain their individual properties. Although the compositions are varied, it is only varied to produce desired properties and not to alter any chemical combination as in the case of compounds.

It is important to note that there are no chemical combinations between these metals.
