Chapter 22, Problem 22.14QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The species which are nearest to the ${\text{Cr}}^{\text{3+}}$ ions in the given species when $\text{Cr}{\left({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}$ dissolves in water are to be stated.

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. When the attraction between the ions and water molecules is more, the salt dissolves and the ions are surrounded by water molecules.

To determine: The species which are nearest to the ${\text{Cr}}^{\text{3+}}$ ions in the given species when $\text{Cr}{\left({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}$ dissolves in water.
