How do d-block elements form alloys? What are the characteristics of such alloys?
Alloys form when one metal mixes up with another metal. The d-block elements have almost similar atomic sizes, and they form solid solutions with usually smooth surfaces by mutually substituting their positions in their crystal lattices. Alloys are usually harder, stronger, non corrosive, have higher melting points and are less conductive when compared to their parent metals.
