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.
