Question

Given below are two statements . Statement I : In CuSO 4 &#183; 5 H 2 O , Cu - O bonds are present. Statement II : In CuSO 4 . 5 H 2 O , ligands coordinating with Cu II ion are O -and S -based ligands. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

In the structure of CuSO 4 &#183; 5 H 2 O only one water molecule, which is outside the brackets (coordination sphere), is hydrogen-bonded. The other four molecules of water are coordinated.
