"Anyway, amalgams are alloys that combine mercury and other metals in the periodic table. The most obvious place you may have seen amalgams is in old dental work."

Mercury and an alloy of what?
Alloy is not an actual material, it refers to the 'blending' of two metals to take advantage of each one's beneficial engineering and chemical properties. For example the alloy called brass is made up of copper and zinc metals.

An alloy is a mixture of any two metals, so it depends entirely on the which metals make up the alloy.
