Double salts fully dissociate into simple ions in solution; coordination compounds retain the complex ion intact.

A double salt is an addition compound that exists in the solid crystalline state but completely dissociates into its constituent simple ions when dissolved in water; it does not retain any special complex ion in solution. Example: Mohr's salt, $FeSO_4\cdot(NH_4)_2SO_4\cdot6H_2O$ , dissolves in water to give free $Fe^{2+}$ , $NH_4^+$ and $SO_4^{2-}$ ions, each of which can be tested for individually using standard qualitative tests.
