Abstract
Even if no chemical reaction takes place initially, new substances can still be formed when salt solutions are mixed: Double salts. In other cases, stable compounds are formed with the formation of electron pair bonds: Complexes. If “large” particles are present in the solution, these are dispersions. These groups should not be confused with each other and will be briefly addressed.
