MediumOriginal questionWhich of these is the odd one out: Copper, Silver, Gold, Bronze?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Copper, silver and gold are pure metals, each a chemical element.
Bronze is an alloy, a mixture made mainly of copper and tin, so it is the odd one out.
Worth noting
All four are metals used for medals and coins, so 'metal' does not separate them. The difference is element versus alloy.
