You are asking in terms of inorganic chemistry?
Explanation:
In aqueous solution, MOST halides are soluble. This is one of the reasons why metal halides are commonly used as precursors, starting materials; metal haides may also display some solubility in non-aqueous, polar solvents. The other alternative, metal nitrates, are possibly soluble in polar solvents as well, however, nitrates possess a potent oxidizing group in the nitrate ion (its oxidizing potential tends to be masked in aqueous solution).
In aqueous solution, in water, metal halides are soluble EXCEPT for
