      Hello Sunny Ji, Solid solutions comprise of the following  Alloys Intermetallics If the electronegativity difference between the constituent elements is more, then at specific composition they form a compound (Just like Oxygen & Hydrogen form water when the composition is 1:2 atomic ratio).

      Hello Sunny Ji,

      Solid solutions comprise of the following

      1.  Alloys
      2. Intermetallics

      If the electronegativity difference between the constituent elements is more, then at specific composition they form a compound (Just like Oxygen & Hydrogen form water when the composition is 1:2 atomic ratio).

      So alloys are like a subset of Solid Solution. However, not only elements but phases also can form alloys.

      Thanks & Regards,

      I think there is no difference between an alloy and a solid solution. Alloy is a solid solution of two or more elements. Alloy itself is usually called as 'solid solution alloy' . E.g. Bronze is a solid solution of copper and tin, at the same time it's an alloy of copper and tin. Corrections are kinRead more

      Corrections are kindly welcomed and thanked.

      If two or more components combined it is solid solution. If this solid solution have metallic properties then it will be called alloy. Alloy is a solid solution but all solid solutions are not alloys.

      If two or more components combined it is solid solution. If this solid solution have metallic properties then it will be called alloy.

      Alloy is a solid solution but all solid solutions are not alloys.

      An alloy is a special case of solid solution, where the main chemical element in a solid is a metal and where the solid contains another element (metal or non-metal). This second element is homogeneously distributed in the first one, though different type of substitutions are possible depending on the relative sizes and properties of the elements being combined.

      Solid solution is used to refer to any homogeneous solid where one chemical component can be substituted for another one and where the intermediate compositions are stable (at least at some P, T conditions).

      Many naturally-occuring crystalline compounds (minerals in the Earth’s crust) are examples of solid solution, and their chemical formula can be written to reflect this: alkali feldspars (Na, K) AlSi3O8 are aluminosilicate compounds where the elements Na and K occur in variable proportions. The end members have distinct names (orthoclase when K-rich, albite when Na-rich) but intermediate compositions are also stable and found in nature or can be synthesized.

      Because feldspars are compounds where metals (Ca, Na, K, Al) and non-metals (Si, O) are essential components, the term “alloy” does not apply.


      Difference between Alloys and Solid Solition:
      An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. … An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solution)
