What is complex compound what is double salt in short
Complex compound
1- These retain their identity in solid as well as in solution State.
2- The Constituent simple salts may not be in the equimolar proportions.
3- These may have ionic as well as covalent bonds.
4- These salts don't gives the test of all the ions of their Constituents in the solution.
5- potassium ferrocyanide K4 [Fe (CN) 6] is a complex compound .
Double salt
1- These retain their identity in solid but lose their identity in solution .
2- The Constituent simple salt in it are in equimolar properties.
3- These contain ionic bonds.
4- These are characterised by the complete dissociation in solution State and therefore give the test of all the ion present in them .
5- Alum is a double salt .
