Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A substitutional alloy is formed when the atoms of the added element (tin, in this case) replace or substitute the atoms of the base metal (copper) in the lattice structure. Given that both tin and copper are metals and the percentages indicate a mixture rather than a compound with a fixed stoichiometry, and considering the similar atomic radii, this alloy is best classified as substitutional.
