Which of the following statement is wrong in Hume Rothery rules?
Show Hint
Hume Rothery rules explain the solubility of metals in each other, with the greatest solubility occurring when metals have similar atomic sizes, crystal structures, and valency.
Solute and solvent atoms possess almost equal diameters
The crystal structure of two metals is the same
The chemical affinity of the two metals is high
Lower chemical valence metals will dissolve more in higher valence than vice versa

The Correct Option isD
Solution and Explanation
The wrong statement is that lower chemical valence metals will dissolve more in higher valence metals. The rule actually states that metals with similar chemical valence are more likely to dissolve in each other.
