The three anions that typically form the most soluble compounds are nitrate (NO₃⁻), acetate (C₂H₃O₂⁻), and chloride (Cl⁻). Nitrates and acetates are highly soluble in water regardless of the cation they are paired with, while chlorides are generally soluble, though some exceptions exist (notably silver chloride and lead(II) chloride). These anions are commonly found in various salts and play significant roles in chemical reactions and biological processes.
In general, cations are soluble in water because they form positive ions that can attract the negatively charged oxygen atoms in water molecules. Anions can also be soluble in water depending on their size and charge, but some large and highly charged anions are less soluble due to stronger electrostatic interactions with water molecules.
Lithium salts of certain anions tend to exhibit lower solubility in water compared to salts of other alkali metals. This phenomenon is largely due to the small ionic radius of lithium, which leads to stronger lattice energies that surpass the hydration energies when dissolved in water. Consequently, anions such as carbonate (CO₃²⁻) and phosphate (PO₄³⁻) form less soluble lithium salts. As a result, lithium compounds with these anions often precipitate out of solution.
Cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) come together to form ionic compounds through electrostatic attraction. The cations and anions bond together to achieve a more stable electron configuration and form a neutral compound.
Chromium is generally considered to be water-soluble, particularly in its trivalent form (chromium III), which can dissolve in water to form various compounds. However, certain chromium compounds, especially hexavalent chromium (chromium VI), can exhibit varying solubility depending on the specific chemical form and environmental conditions. In contrast, chromium is not fat-soluble, as it does not dissolve in fats or oils.
In binary ionic compounds, elements that tend to form anions are typically nonmetals. From the given options, sulfur (S) and iodine (I) are nonmetals that commonly form anions (S²⁻ and I⁻, respectively) when they react with metals. Other elements listed, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and iron (Fe), are metals that tend to form cations rather than anions.
Anions that form precipitates are solutions that are combined to form an insoluble ionic solid. The reactions of cations and anions to form precipitates will vary depending on the temperature, solutions for buffers or solution concentration.

Yes, sodium compounds are soluble.
Set c (Rb, Sn, S) tends to form anions in binary ionic compounds. Rb is a metal that tends to lose an electron to form a cation, while Sn and S are nonmetals that tend to gain electrons to form anions.
Alkaline earth metal salts, primarily those of magnesium and calcium. These cations form only slightly soluble salts with common anions in soaps, precipitating these anions and thereby preventing the anions from forming micelles into which oil or grease can be moved, as is needed to accomplish the cleaning purpose of soap.

Anions in binary compounds are negatively charged ions that have gained electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In all types of binary compounds, anions are typically nonmetals that form anions by gaining electrons to fill their valence shell. These anions are named with an -ide suffix when combined with a cation.
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions
Ionic compounds are substances that form ions in solution. These compounds are composed of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that dissociate in water to form free ions. Examples include table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
Boron typically forms covalent compounds with elements, so it does not commonly form ionic compounds with anions. This means that Boron can theoretically bond with any anion, but the most common anions that Boron will not likely form compounds with are those with a full negative charge, such as nitride (N3-) or oxide (O2-).
