Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I: Group 13 trivalent halides get easily hydrolyzed by water due to their covalent nature. Statement II: AlCl upon hydrolysis in acidified aqueous

Answer: .

💡 Solution & Explanation

:- In trivalent state most of the compounds being covalent are hydrolysed in water. Trichlorides on hydrolysis in water form tetrahedral  4 M OH      species, the hybridisation state of element M is sp . In case of aluminium, acidified aqueous solution forms octahedral   2 Al H O      ion.
