Question

is silver fluoride soluble in water?

Answer 1

The difference in electronegativity between silver and fluorine is much greater versus that of silver and iodine. Because of this large electronegative difference, the bond is considered polar-ionic. When you measure the difference in electronegativity between silver and iodine, you see that there is no polarity due to the very small difference of about 0.2.

When you draw Ag-F, with six dots around the F, both have their formal charge of zero and you are faced with a tetrahedral and linear structure. The density of electrons around fluorine allow the negativity to tend to surround it, creating polarity despite its linear structure.

Since polar substances can only dissolve in polar liquids, AgF can dissolve in water, whereas AgI cannot because it is not polar.

I hope this helps!

Yes, Silver Fluoride is souble in water
