Dimer `Al_(2)Cl_(6)` is formed because

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 :

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 :

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

AlCl_(3) exist as dimer because

AlCl_(3) exist as dimer because

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
