What kind of bond in AlCl3 have?
AlCl3 at high temperatres in the vapor phase is molcular, planar AlCl3. with polar covalent bonds. In the melt and at lower temperatures in the vapor phase it is dimeric, Al2Cl6 with two bridging Cl atoms ( Cl2AlCl2AlCl2), each aluminium atom is approximately surrounded by a tetrahedron of Cl atoms. in the solid the structure has each Al surrounded by 6 Cl atoms and the bonding is more ionic in nature. As the solid is heated just before it melts the electrical conductivity rises due to the presence of ions.
What is meant by anhydrous AlCl3?
anhydrous means without water and anhydrous AlCl3 means, AlCl3 is hydrated in water therefore anhydrous AlCl3 is used.
Is CO SO2 AlCl3 or NO a nonpolar molecule?
AlCl3
How many formula units are in 0.75 moles of AlCl3?
0,75 moles of AlCl3 (anhydrous) is equivalent to 100,005 g.
How do you name AlCl3?
The correct name for AlCl3 is aluminum chloride. This is a compound made from chlorine and aluminum. It is usually a white or yellow salt-like inorganic compound.
What is the molecular geometry of AlCl3?
trigonal planar
What is the electron pair geometry of AlCl3?
Trigonal Planar
Is AlCl3 a trigonal planar?
It depends on the phase and the temperature Solid AlCl3 has each aluminium is 6 coordinate, surrounded by 6 chlorine atoms in an octahedral formation. The best description here is a ionic bonding. Interestingly just below melt temperature the conductivity rises indicating free ions. AlCl3 in the melt is found as dimer Al2Cl6 with four coordinate aluminium. Two chlorines bridging the aluminium atoms. In this aluminium achieves its octet and the bond angles are in line with VSEPR theory. At high temperature the dimers dissociate to monomeric AlCl3 which is trigonal planar, following VSEPR theory.
Is AlCl3 a covalent or ionic compound?
Solid AlCl3 is ionic. Liquid and gaseous AlCl3 is present as a covalent dimer, Al2Cl6. At high temperatures the dimer dissociates to form the planar covalent monomer AlCl3.
What is the bond of AlCl3?
In the solid- ionic with 6 coordinate indiumIn the melt it is a dimer, Al2Cl6, with covalent bondsIn the gas phase at high temperatures a Trigonal Pyramidal monomer AlCl3
Why unhydrated alcl3 is covalent in nature but hydrated alcl3 becomes ionic in nature?
In the presence of H2O, Al2Cl6 dissociates into hydrated Al3+ and Cl- ions due to high heat of hydration of these ions

Does AlCl3 have a dipole moment?
No, it doesn't. Dipole moment is the measure polarity of a polar covalent bond
What is meant by anhydrous AlCl3?
anhydrous means without water and anhydrous AlCl3 means, AlCl3 is hydrated in water therefore anhydrous AlCl3 is used.
Is alcl3 an electrolyte?
Yes, AlCl3 is a strong electrolyte.
Is CO SO2 AlCl3 or NO a nonpolar molecule?
AlCl3
What are the products when these react AlCl3 and HNO3 and AgNO3?
alcl3+hno3
