Question

Ae the oxidation state and covalency of [ALCL(H2O)5]+2

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it helps you my dear friend ❣️☺

please mark as brainliest .

Step-by-step explanation:

For oxidation state let oxidation number of Al be x.

Oxidation no. for Cl is -1, for H20 which is neutral is 0.

Hence net oxidation state of compund is

ON of Al + ON of Cl + 5 * ON of H20 = +2

x -1 = +2

x = +3.

Covalency is no. of bonds formed/ radicals or ligands attached to atom.

Here Al atom is attached to 1 Cl atom and 5 H20 atoms.

Hence its covalency is 6.
