Particle diagram of a substitutional alloy (brass)

An example figure from the Particle Diagram generator.

A lattice of light gray copper atoms with some replaced by dark gray zinc atoms of similar size, with a key
A lattice of light gray atoms, labeled copper in the key, in which eight have been replaced by dark gray zinc atoms of about the same size. This is a substitutional alloy like brass: atoms of the second metal take the places of the first.
