Chemistry - Carbonyl compounds Question with Solution | TestHub

Four water molecules.$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}}_4.5{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$is a crystalline salt. Four${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$molecules attach to copper forming a square planar symmetry and two oxygen atoms from$\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{O}}_4^{2-}$ion complete the distorted octahedron. The fifth water molecule is attached through hydrogen bonding between one of the co-ordinated water molecule and one of the sulphate ion.
