Addition Compounds or Molecular Compounds
These are those compounds which are formed by the combination or simple addition of two or more simple salts. These compounds are of two types, i.e, Double salts and Coordination compounds.
Difference between a double salt and a coordination compound
Both double salts as well as complexes are formed by the combination of two or more stable compounds in stoichiometric ratio. However, they differ in the fact that double salts such as carnallite, KCl.MgCl2.6H2O, Mohr’s salt, FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O, potash alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O, etc. dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water. However, complex ions such as [Fe(CN)6]4– of K4[Fe(CN)6] do not dissociate into Fe2+ and CN– ions.
