Chapter 17, Problem 17.22QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: When ${\text{TiCl}}_{\text{3}}$ dissolves in water, the option corresponding to the correct species which is among those nearest to the ${\text{Ti}}^{3+}$ ions is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Ionic compounds are those compounds which are made up of ions of opposite charges in a lattice structure. When they dissolve in water ions get separated and attracted by water molecules.

Coordination compounds consist of a coordination sphere in which a central metal ion is bonded to the ligands through coordinate bond. Outside the coordination sphere, counter ions are present to maintain the electroneutrality of the complex ion.
