The fluorides of silver (Ag), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), barium (Ba), and strontium (Sr) are generally insoluble in water due to their strong ionic bonds and the lattice energy associated with their crystalline structures. The high lattice energy overcomes the energy released during hydration when these ions are dissolved in water, making the compounds less soluble. Additionally, the solubility of these fluorides is further influenced by the low solvation energies of the cations involved, which do not favor dissolution in polar solvents like water.
