Aluminum chloride, represented by molecular formula AlCl3, is a compound of aluminum and chlorine. An aqueous solution of aluminum chloride conducts electricity fairly well, but this is not currently reliably quantified.
no
1.00 M AlCl3 solution shows more conductivity due to presence of more charges on ions.
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.

AlCl3 is the compound aluminum chloride.
The correct formula is AlCl3
alcl3
1.00 M AlCl3 solution shows more conductivity due to presence of more charges on ions.
anhydrous means without water and anhydrous AlCl3 means, AlCl3 is hydrated in water therefore anhydrous AlCl3 is used.
AlCl3
Yes, AlCl3 is a strong electrolyte.

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.

Aluminium Chloride (AlCl3) Al + 3Cl = AlCl3
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.
The chemical formula of aluminium chloride is AlCl3.
