Which of these statements about alloys and intermetallic compounds is false? which of these statements about alloys and intermetallic compounds is false? intermetallics are compounds of two or more metals that have a definite composition and are not considered alloys. bronze is an example of an alloy. "alloy" is just another word for "a chemical compound of fixed composition that is made of two or more metals." alloys can be formed even if the atoms that comprise them are rather different in size. if you mix two metals together and, at the atomic level, they separate into two or more different compositional phases, you have created a heterogeneous alloy.

The statement that is an alloy is just another word for a chemical compound of fixed composition that is made of two or more metals is false.  

An alloy refers to the mixture of the elements in which the parent element is the metal. An alloy is produced by the amalgamation of any element, that is, metal or non-metal to better the feature of the parent metal. The whole components in the alloy are combined to produce a mixture of fixed composition, but not a chemical compound, and it is not essential that the elements involved are metals. Thus, the mentioned statement is false.  

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
