1.	The coordination number of Alin the crystalline ofAlCl_(3) is
Answer» SOLUTION :At low temperature . `AlCl_(3)`EXISTS as a CLOSE paked lattice of ` Cl^(-)` ions with ` Al^(3+)`ions occupying octahedral VOIDS. Thus, ` Al^(3+)`ions has 6 `Cl^(-)` ions AROUND it. Hence, its corrdination number is 6.
