Why are silver, lead, and mercury so special? (why do they always precipitate out and never dissolve) PLEASE BE DETAILED BUT SIM

lara [203]

Silver and lead are special elements, where silver is insoluble in all halogen anions (like AgCl, AgI, AgBr)
and lead is insoluble in sulphates and halogen anions ( PbSO4, PbCl2, etc.)
Mercury is special because it is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature
hope this helps!!
