The two elements required to form substitutional solid solution should not have___________________?

Correct answer: C. Widely differing electronegativity

  • A. Same crystalline structure
  • B. Same valency
  • C. Widely differing electronegativity
  • D. Same atomic sizes

Explanation

Substitutional solid solubility is favoured by similar atomic sizes, crystal structures, valencies and electronegativities. Widely different electronegativities promote compound formation rather than simple substitution.
