composition
(chemistry) a substance that its molecules consist of two or more elements that are held together by a chemical bond

soluble
unable to be dissolved, especially in a liquid

insoluble, indissoluble
a mixture of different liquids

solution

a reddish-brown alloy made primarily of copper combined with tin, and often small amounts of zinc, nickel, or other metals, to enhance strength and corrosion resistance

bronze, alliage de bronze
a type of hard metal that is made of a mixture of iron and carbon, used in construction of buildings, vehicles, etc.
