The best answer to the question as stated is "no".
Until recently, in the only planetary system we had any knowledge the inner planets as rocky, and that led to the conjecture that proximity to the central star would drive away most of the gas and prevent gas giants from forming there.
We now know that "hot Jupiters" are surprisingly common, and it may just be a coincidence that, in the Solar system, the inner planets happen to be rocky.
However, while the inner planets in the Solar system are rocky, they are not "large"; the largest of the inner planets is 5th in a system of 8 ... and it's not a close 5th, either. The smallest of the outer planets is many times larger than the largest of the inner planets.

Which is not true in the inner planets?
The inner planets are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets, have solid rocky surfaces, and are smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
How do inner planets differ from the outer one?
They have rocky surfaces.
Are the inner planets rocky or gassy?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are rocky. It is the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) that are gas planets.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
What do all of the inner planets have in common?
They are all compact objects with rocky, accessible surfaces.
Which is not true in the inner planets?
The inner planets are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets, have solid rocky surfaces, and are smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
Do all the inner planets have rocky surfaces?
Yes. They are the terrestrial planets.
What are the rocky inner planets that have rocky surfaces?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Do inner planets have rocky surfaces?
Yes, inner planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars have rocky surfaces. These planets are primarily composed of silicate rocks and metals, with solid surfaces that are differentiated into crusts, mantles, and cores. The rocky surfaces of these inner planets differ in terms of composition, age, and geologic processes that have shaped them over time.
What are the common characteritics of the inner planets?
they are small and have rocky surfaces
How do inner planets differ from the outer one?
They have rocky surfaces.
What is a another name for the inner planets?
The inner planets are also known as terrestrial planets. This term is used because they have solid rocky surfaces similar to Earth's.
What is another name for inner planets?
Another name for inner planets is terrestrial planets. These are the planets that are closer to the Sun and have rocky surfaces.
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
How are the inner planets different then the outer planets how?
The inner planets have rocky, hard surfaces, are small, and have a more presentage of containing metal objects.
Are the inner planets rocky or gassy?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are rocky. It is the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) that are gas planets.
