What is the difference between a complex salt and a double salt?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Complex compound : These are formed by simple salts which may or may not be in equimolar proportions. They always contain co-ordinate bonds. e.g., `K_4[Fe(CN)_6]`.
Double salt : These are formed by two simple salts mixed in equimolar proportions. They do not have any co-ordinate bond and hence are ionic in nature. e.g., `K_2SO_4 Al_2(SO_4)_3. 24H_2O`
