The correct statement is:
- Most salts are ionic and are soluble in water.
Brief explanation:
- Salts are typically ionic compounds made of cations and anions; many common salts (nitrates, alkali metal salts, many chlorides) are soluble in water.
- Salts are usually formed by neutralization of an acid with a base (not by a base reacting with water).
- Salts do carry electrical charges (they consist of ions), and their aqueous solutions conduct electricity.
- Most salts are ionic and are soluble in water.
