Answer» <p>1</p> <p>Completesolubilityoccurs when the solvent and solute have the samevalency.A metal of higher valency is more likely to dissolve in a metal with lower valency.</p><p>The solute and solvent should have similarelectronegativity. If the electronegativity difference is too great, the metals tend to formintermetallic compoundsinstead of solid solutions</p> | |
