Chapter 22, Problem 22.16QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The molecules or ions which occupy the inner coordination sphere around the ${\text{Ni}}^{\text{2+}}$ ions when $\left[\text{Ni}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_6\right]{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolves in water is 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.

To determine: The molecules or ions which occupy the inner coordination sphere around the ${\text{Ni}}^{\text{2+}}$ ions when $\left[\text{Ni}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_6\right]{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ dissolves in water.
