Which of the following accounts for the fact that reactions between ions in solution are usually very fast?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In reactions between ions in solution, no covalent bonds need to be broken for reaction to occur, which means that the activation energy required for the reaction is generally lower than in reactions involving covalent bonds. This makes the reaction faster. Ionic bonds themselves are strong and the type of reaction (endothermic or exothermic) does not necessarily determine the speed of the reaction.
