Silver halides have low solubility in water due to their covalent character.
- In silver halides, the silver ion exists as ion and the outer electronic configuration of is .
- We know that the d - electrons screen the nuclear charge from the outer electrons less effectively. Therefore, the effective nuclear charge experienced by ion is more.
- Hence, it undergoes a change from ionic character to covalent character.
- Thus due to this covalent character silver halides are less soluble in polar water.
