What is the primary difference between double salts and complexes?

Options

  1. ADouble salts are always insoluble, while complexes are soluble.
  2. BDouble salts dissociate into simple ions, while complexes do not.
  3. CDouble salts contain only one type of ion, while complexes contain multiple ions.
  4. DDouble salts are stoichiometric, while complexes are non-stoichiometric.

Correct answer

B. Double salts dissociate into simple ions, while complexes do not.

Step-by-step solution

The primary difference between double salts and complexes is that double salts dissociate into simple ions when dissolved in water, whereas complexes do not.
