Will ddr3 ram work with a ddr4 motherboard

I tried to install a ddr3 into a ddr4 slot and tried to boot it ddr3 vs ddr4 slot DDR5 can also run at higher clock frequencies than DDR4 But can you use DDR5 modules to upgrade a DDR4 or even a DDR3 motherboard? ddr3 vs ddr4 slot DDR3 RAM consumes less power and produces less heat than DDR2 RAM at the same clock speed However

ddr3 slot DDR3 modules use 240 pins and DDR4 DIMMs use 288 pins Both DDR3 and DDR4 DIMMs are 5¼ inch in length but the pins in DDR4 are spaced closer
