Dear student,
 
Alloys are mixtures because the elements that make it up are physically together, not chemically combined or joined together as in a compound. No new chemical properties are shown once the metals are mixed. So, an alloy retains the properties of the constituent elements. ... Hence, an alloy is considered as a mixture.
