Is Iron (Fe) soluble in water. (1 Viewer)

I'm talking about the elemental iron not an ion etc.

I would say no because if you drop iron filings in water they just sink to the bottom, they don't dissolve.

metals dont dissolve in water in their stable elemental form

 

[boredsatan]

No, it's not soluble in water

and explanation would be that metals don't have ionic bonds, they don't have the ability to become ionic when they are bonded in a metal lattice.
