By soluble I presume you mean soluble in water and, in that case, the answer is, some are and some are not.

For example, Ferric Oxide Fe2O3, usually known as rust, is not soluble in water, whereas Sodium Chloride NaCl, usually known as table salt, is soluble in water.

Is chromate soluble?

Chromates of alkali metals are soluble in water. But chromates of Alkaline earth metals, transition metals and post-transition(poor) metals are mostly insoluble in water.


Why do most metals exist in earth's crust as compounds and not in the form of elements?

Most metals exist in Earth's crust as compounds because they are highly reactive and tend to combine with other elements to form stable compounds. These compounds are more stable and less likely to oxidize compared to pure metals. As a result, metals are found in nature as ores, which are mineral compounds containing the metal along with other elements.


What metals are ferrous metals?

Iron is often referred to as a ferrous metal, but the word ferrous really refers to compounds containing iron. Compounds containing iron having a valance of +2 are ferrous; those compounds containing iron having a valence of +3 are ferric. In a more general sense, ferrous metals are metals or metal alloys that contain the element iron. Steel, for example, is a ferrous metal, and there are a number of other alloys that contain iron. Use the link below for more information. all ferrous metals are magnetic and contaain a small amount of other metals to provide the correct properties


Are all salts of the earth alkaline metals soluble in water?

Not all salts of the earth alkaline metals are soluble in water. Alkaline metal salts like lithium and sodium salts are generally soluble in water, while salts of heavier alkaline earth metals like calcium and barium may have limited solubility in water.


Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?

Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.

From all salt elements which group is most soluble?

Among the salt elements, compounds containing alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, and lithium tend to be the most soluble in water due to their strong ionic interactions. These salts form highly soluble compounds when dissolved in water.

What cations always form soluble compounds?

Cations don't always form soluble compounds. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in very polar solvents such as water and insoluble in nonpolar solvents because the charged ions can be solvated only by polar solvents. Some ionic compounds are insoluble even in water, however.


Compounds containing transition metals?

ZnSO4, FeCl2 etc


Is chromate soluble?

Chromates of alkali metals are soluble in water. But chromates of Alkaline earth metals, transition metals and post-transition(poor) metals are mostly insoluble in water.


Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.


Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?

Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. Metals typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals due to the large difference in electronegativity, while nonmetals tend to share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve stability.


Compounds containing metals and non metals are?

Compounds containing metals and nonmetals are called ionic compounds. In these compounds, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged anion. The resulting electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion holds the compound together.


Is KI compound insoluble in water?

Potassium iodide (KI) is soluble in water, meaning it can dissolve and form a homogeneous solution when mixed with water.


Is LiNO 3 soluble in water?

Take this as a rule: All group one salts are soluble All nitrates are soluble in water You can answer that with only one rule but better yet the two rules state that LiNO3 ( lithium nitrate) lithium being in group one and nitrates being soluble make LiNO3 soluble in water.


Are metals soluble in water?

Metals are generally not soluble in water, with the exception of certain alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.


Is silver soluble?

No, silver isn't soluble in water. It might dissolve in other solvents like Aqua Regia which is called royal water because it is able to dissolve most of the metals.
