Answer» Solution :The oxidationstateof `C1 ` is-1 . Letus supposethat oxidation STATEOF a1 is x `:.X - 1 + 6xx 0= + 2" ORX= + 3` Thusthe oxidationstateof ALIS +3 Sincesix ligands(whichcandonate a pairof ELECTRONS ) I.e., `H_(2)O`molecules are attached to thealuminium atom, Thereforeitscovalencyis 6. |
