What condition regarding metallic radii makes the formation of alloys more likely?
Options
- AMetallic radii within about 5 percent of each other
- BMetallic radii within about 10 percent of each other
- CMetallic radii within about 15 percent of each other
- DMetallic radii within about 20 percent of each other
Correct answer
C. Metallic radii within about 15 percent of each other
Step-by-step solution
Alloys may be homogeneous solid solutions in which the atoms of one metal are distributed randomly among the atoms of the other. Such alloys are formed by atoms with metallic radii that are within about 15 percent of each other"
