Abstract
ABS>The fact that Yb and Th exhibit very limited mutual solid and liquid miscibilities was interpreted in terms of a rule involving an electronegativity vs radius (for coordination number 12) graph. In this rule, an ellipse is drawn around one element on the graph, and the elements within the ellipse are predicted to form extensive solid solutions with this element, while the other elements lying outside the ellipse have limited solubilities. Numerous exceptions to the rule are given with Au, Ag, Cu, and Mg as solvent, and the justification of the rule is doubtful. Some of the reasons for the exceptions are discussed. It is concluded that an extreme difference in electronegativity (e.g., Au-Mg, AuIn, Ag-Li) does not preclude the formation of extensive solid solutions. (D.L.C.)
