Alloys of metals have greater resistivity than that of their constituent metals. Why?

Answer» In an alloy like nichrome (made of nickel and chromium), the free electron finds a disordered arrangment of nickel ions and cromium ions. Due to it, the electron is scattered by them randomly and very frequently. As a result of it, the value of relaxation time of electorn decreases and hence resistivity increases because `rho prop 1//tau`.
