What is Hard-Soft Acid-Base Theory Explained about?

Hard-Soft Acid-Base theory categorizes acids and bases as either hard or soft based on their polarizability. Hard acids and bases are small and nonpolarizable, bonding ionically, while soft acids and bases are larger and more polarizable, bonding covalently. The theory predicts that hard acids preferentially bond to hard bases, and soft acids to soft bases. Examples of applications include predicting the solubility of metal salts and explaining the bonding preferences of transition metals.
