A hydratd ionic solid is one that contains water. THis used to be called water of crystallisaion. Tthe formulae of such ionic solids is written as say CoCl2.(H2O)6. Sometimes the water molecules are grouped around the cation and are said to be coordiated to it. Sometimes water molecule(s) are not bound to the cation. An example of a salt with both sorts is

CoCl2.(H2O)6. In this 4 water molecules and two chloride ions surround the Co2+ ion and two water molecules are not coordinated.
