Assertion (A) : In aqueous solution

{AlCl}_3

forms dimer

{Al}_2 {Cl}_6

.
Reason (R) : The high enthalpy of hydration is sufficient to break the covalent dimer into

\left[M\left({H}_2 {O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}

and

{Cl}^{-}

ions.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\mathbf{A}

is false but

\mathbf{R}

is true.

Option D is correct. Assertion (A) is false because

{AlCl}_3

exists as a dimer in the gaseous phase and in non-polar solvents, but it ionizes in aqueous solution. Reason (R) is true because the high enthalpy of hydration favors ionization.
