Discuss the dissociation of ionic compounds in aqueous solution.

Open in App

Solution

On adding ionic compounds into water. Water breaks the strong
forces between the ionic compound to release ions.

In the presence of water, ionic compounds break down into their
respective ions. AB breaks down into water as
$A^{+}$ (aq) and $B^{-}$ (aq).
