solubility of ionic compounds chart

Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water and other polar solvents having high dielectric constants. This is due to larger electrostatic interactions between polar solvents and ions. However ionic compounds are insoluble in non-polar solvents...

Ionic bond: The electrostatic force of attraction that is strong enough to hold together two unlike charges, namely a cation and an anion is defined as the ionic bon..

Hydrogen bonding also influences the solubility of one substance in another. Covalent compounds do not generally dissolve in water, but those that can form a hydrogen bond with water, readily dissolve in it. For example, alcohols like ethanol, ammonia, amines, lower aldehydes a..

Solubility Product - Compounds such as AgCl, AgBr, AgI, BaSO 4 etc., when placed in a polar solvent such as water, dissolve to a very limited extent to produce ions in the solution. These sparingly soluble ionic substances (salts) establish an equilibrium bet..

Ionic Equations - Suppose we dissolve silver nitrate, an ionic solid in water, the ions in the crystal lattice are released and once in solution, move freely in hydrated form. The situation is represented by the equatio..

Solubility product Ionic product It is the product of the concentration of ions of the electrolyte each raised to the power of their coefficients in the balanced chemical equation in a saturated solution It is the product of the concentration of ions of the el..

Factoids - A chemical compound is always electrically neutral. The positive and negative valencies of the ions/radicals in a compound are equal and balance..
