AM5 socket

I have a motherboard with AM5 socket on my computer, will there be a problem if I install an AM4 e.g. Ryzen 5 5500 processor on this motherboard?

AM4 and AM5 parts are not interchangeable. AMD drew a dividing line between the AM4 5000 series with DDR4 and the AM5 7000 series with DDR5.
