Question

Silver halides have low solubility in water explain

Answer 1

HOLA MATE!!!!✌

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:-

Silver halides have low solubility in water because of their covalent character. Also, covalent compounds are insoluble in polar solvent.

Mark me as the brainliest please if this helps....✌

Answer 2

Silver halides have low solubility in water due to their covalent character.

• In silver halides, the silver ion exists as $Ag^+$ ion and the outer electronic configuration of $Ag^+$ is $4d^{10}5s^05p^0$.
• We know that the d - electrons screen the nuclear charge from the outer electrons less effectively. Therefore, the effective nuclear charge experienced by $Ag^+$ 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.
