In solid CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O

Five molecules of `H_(2)O` are coordinate bonded to `Cu^(2+)`

`Cu^(2+)` ion is coordinate bonded to four water molecules

One `H_(2)O` molecule is H-bonded

It has four type of bonds : Ionic, covalent, coordinate and H-bond

`Cu^(2+)` ion is coordinate bonded to four water molecules

One `H_(2)O` molecule is `H-` bonded

It has four types of bonds, Ionic, covalent, coordinate and H- bond

Five molecules of `H_(2)O` are coordinate bonded to `Cu^(2+)`
