Description: Aluminum forms the complex ions AlCl4^-and AlF6^3-. Describe the shapes of these ions. AlCl6^3- does not form. Why? (Hint: Consider the relative sizes of Al^3+, F^-, and Cl^-ions.)

step 1 This is question 50 from chapter 23 and is asking to describe the shapes. We have the tetrachlor

Question

Aluminum forms the complex ions $\mathrm{AlCl}_4^{-}$and $\mathrm{AlF}_6^{3-}$. Describe the shapes of these ions. $\mathrm{AlCl}_6^{3-}$ does not form. Why? (Hint: Consider the relative sizes of $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}, \mathrm{F}^{-}$, and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions.)
