Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Metals And Reactivity (Section 1 - No. 16)

Which property of an alloy makes it more resistant to wear and tear compared to a pure metal?
High malleability
Irregular atomic structure
Good electrical conductivity
Low melting point

Explanation

The irregular arrangement of atoms in alloys hinders the movement of layers, making them harder and more resistant to wear.
