All elements are made up of atoms. ➢ Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Two different kinds of atoms can combine to form a compound. A molecule is a combination of atoms that cannot be broken apart while still retaining the same properties as the larger substance that it is a part of.
Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.
Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.
Hope this helped :)
