Answer
A metal alloy is a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a non-metal. The metals or elements in the alloy are dissolved in each other at the atomic level, forming a solid solution.
Two examples of metal alloys are:
1. Brass - an alloy of copper and zinc
2. Stainless steel - an alloy of iron, carbon, and chromium
