Are the oxidation state and covalency of Al in [AlCl(H_(2)O)_(5)]^(2+) same ? |
|
Answer» Solution :No. The oxidation state of Al is `+3 `and the COVALENCY is 6. Because, `+2 = Al + CL + 5 (H_(2) O)` `+2 = x - 1 + 5(0)` ` :. X = +3 = ` oxidation number of Al Al form one covalent bond Cl form one covalent bond and FIVE covalent bond from with `5 H_(2) O`, So total 6 covalent bond is present. |
