Ionic compounds are generally ………………….. in polar solvents like water.
Open in App
Solution
- Polar solvents consists of oppositely charged ions.
- Water is polar solvent and it has high dielectric constant.
- So it has a capacity to weakens the electrostatic force of attraction between the ions in the ionic solids.
- Hence Ionic compounds are generally soluble in polar solvents.
