Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]4 years ago

Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?
lakkis [162]
<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>
