Aluminium chloride exists as a dimer, Al_(2)Cl_(6) in solid state as well as in solution of non-polar solvents such as benzene. When dissolved in water, it gives :

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.

When Al_(2)Cl_(6) is dissolved in water then

Anhydrous aluminium chloride (Al_(2)Cl_(6)) is covalent compound and soluble in water giving:

All the Al-Cl bonds in Al_(2)Cl_(6) are equivalent.
