9. COORDINATION COMPOUNDS

3. Answer in brief.

iii. What is the difference between a double salt and a complex ? Give an example.

Answer:-

A double salt fully ionizes in water, breaking down into individual ions, while a coordination complex dissolves in water, typically yielding at least one complex ion as part of its dissociation. For instance, Mohr’s salt, with the formula FeSO4(NH4)2SO4·6H2O, exemplifies a double salt, whereas K4[Fe(CN)6] is an example of a coordination complex.
