A halide is a generic name for a compound called a "salt", which contains a halogen as the "acid" part. Roughly speaking, salts contain an alkali and an acid part. The halogens are the five non-metallic elements found in group 17 of the Periodic Table:
- Fluorine
- Chlorine
- Bromine
- Iodine
- Astatine
The halide you probably know best is "common salt" or "table salt" - sodium chloride, NaCl, each molecule of which contains one atom of sodium (an alkaline metal) and one atom of chlorine (the halogen). As everyone knows, salt is soluble in water. However, there are a great many halides and not all of them are soluble in water. For example, silver halides (the silver compounds used to make photographic film), except for silver fluoride are very insoluble in water.

∙ 15y agoHalite is water soluble. It (halite) is a mineral composed almost exclusively of sodium chloride (NaCl). And you'll recognize that chemical because it's table salt.

∙ 10y agoYes. Halite is sodium chloride, the same substance as table salt.

Is lead nitrate insoluble or soluble in water?
All nitrates are soluble in water. Lead, Silver, and Mercury, however, are some of the most insoluble metals. The halides of these metals are almost always considered insoluble.
Is caesium astatide soluble?
Very probable yes, as the other alkali halides.
Does NH4OH dissolve in water?
Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is a solution of NH3 in water and is completely miscible with water in any proportions.
Are ionic bonds soluble in water?
Yes, ionic substances are soluble in water.
What is an ionic compound which will not dissolve in water?
Barium sulfate is a common example. Any salt of lead except lead nitrate is insoluble in water (however lead halides are soluble in hot water). Other examples include many of the salts of transition metals which are seperated by cation analysis.
Is CoBr2 water soluble?
Most metal halides are water soluble, and cobalt (II) bromide is no exception.
Why are alkyl halides insoluble in water?
Alkyl halides are insoluble in water though they are more polar than alkanes because they cannot form hydrogen bond with water but are soluble in other organic solvents as are the corresponding alkanes
Is sodium iodide water soluble?
Yes. Simple alkali metal salts tend to be soluble with extremely few exceptions; most halides are likewise soluble. An alkali metal halide, such as sodium iodide, should be expected to be extremely soluble in water.
Is lead nitrate insoluble or soluble in water?
All nitrates are soluble in water. Lead, Silver, and Mercury, however, are some of the most insoluble metals. The halides of these metals are almost always considered insoluble.
Is caesium astatide soluble?
Very probable yes, as the other alkali halides.
Is AgI soluble?
No, most silver halides are insoluble.
Does NH4OH dissolve in water?
Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is a solution of NH3 in water and is completely miscible with water in any proportions.
Are ionic bonds soluble in water?
Yes, ionic substances are soluble in water.
What salts are soluble?
Those salts which can dissolve in water.because water is a solvent and salts are solute.
Explain the formation of two layers in the Lucas test?
Since alkyl halides are not soluble in water, two layers form if an alcohol was present to react with the ZnCl2:HCl mixture.
Is HgO soluble in water?
To answer you question HgBr2 is soluble in water. I had the same question so I surfed around a bit and found the answer on a chemistry based website talking about solublity and net ionic equations. Hope this helps~
Silver nitrate solution is reacted with sodium iodide solution?
This is a precipitation reaction. Halides of silver are insoluble in water (except silver fluoride) whereas all nitrates are soluble in water. Sodium salts are soluble. Thus, silver iodide is the precipitate. Formula: AgNO3(aq) + NaI(aq) -> AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq)
