Answer:
In CuSO4.5H2O, Cu is cordinated with 4 water molecules and two more oxygen atoms fron Sulphate ion. Now fifth water molecule is hydrogen bonded and is deeply embedded in crystal. It is not cordinated. ... Copper sulfate pentahydrate contains copper(II) in a geometry best described as distorted octahedral.
