My chemistry book says that brass is a physical combination of copper and 
zinc, but it does not explain why it is a physical combination versus a 
chemical combination. I have not been able to find an answer to this 
anywhere and my teacher can't seem to explain it in a why I can 
understand. Would you please help me understand this?
