alloy of mercury with another metal

AI overview

An amalgam is a mixture of mercury combined with another metal, creating an alloy with distinct properties different from either metal alone. Historically, amalgams have been important in applications like dental fillings and gold extraction, though their use has become more limited due to health and environmental concerns about mercury.
