What is called compound?
- In chemistry, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
- When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
- These bonds form as a result of sharing or exchanging electrons between atoms.
The equation for the dissociation of a solid MX in water is given below
MX(s) ⇄ Mⁿ⁺(aq) + Xⁿ⁻ (aq)
Assume s be the solubility of MX in pure water, then the equilibrium concentrations of ions are
[ Mⁿ⁺] = s
[ Xⁿ⁻ ] = s
The expression for the solubility product constant () is as follows
= [ Mⁿ⁺] [ Xⁿ⁻ ]
= s²
That is, larger is the value of the higher will the solubility of solid in water.

Explanation :
The aluminium and fluorine react to give ionic compound aluminium fluoride.
Aluminium has 1 valence electrons in their shell and fluorine has 7 valence electrons in their shell.
For the complete octet, both aluminium and fluorine exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.
The aluminium donates its three valence electrons to three fluorine atoms and they form one and three
ions.
