Pure metals and alloys
Pure metals and alloys
A pure metal contains only one type of atom, such as pure copper or pure iron. Pure metals usually conduct heat and electricity well and are often malleable, which means they can be hammered into shape.

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Chemistry Alloys and their properties for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended), plus Paper 5 or Paper 6 format. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
