AlCl_(3) forms dimer Al_(2)Cl_(6) but dissolves in water forming [Al(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) and Cl^(Ө) ions. Aqueous solution of AlCl_(3) is acidic due to hydrolysis.

Assertion : Aluminium chloride in acidified aqueous solution from octahedral [AI(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) ion. Reason :In [AI(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) complest ion the 3d orbital of Al are involved and the hybridisation state of AI is sp^(3)d^(2) .

Assertion:Boron can only form [BF_(4)]^(-) ,whereas aluminium forms [AIF_(6)]^(3-) . Reason:Ionization enthalpy increases across a period.

Assertion (A): Solution of AICI_(3) in water is neutral. Reason (R) : [AI(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) is formed.
