Some substances make solids called precipitates because they don't mix well with water. This usually happens because of how molecules or ions attract each other. Here are a few key points to understand:
Solubility Rules: Some compounds, like many carbonates and sulfides, don't dissolve in water very well.
Concentration: When solutions get too crowded with particles, some can't stay mixed in. This can cause solids to form.
From my experience, seeing a clear liquid turn cloudy is like watching chemistry come to life!
