Cobalt(II) chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt of cobalt and chlorine, with the formula CoCl 2.The compound forms several hydrates CoCl 2 ·n H 2 O, for n = 1, 2, 6, and 9. . Claims of the formation of tri- and tetrahydrates have not been confirmed
Cobalt(II) nitrate exists in the anhydrous form and the hydrate form, of which the hexahydrate is the most common. Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO 3) 2 ·6H 2 O) is a red deliquescence crystal that is easily soluble in water, [12] and its molecule contains cobalt(II) hydrated ions ([Co(H 2 O) 6] 2+) and free nitrate ions.

In chemistry, a transition metal chloride complex is a coordination complex that consists of a transition metal coordinated to one or more chloride ligand. The class of complexes is extensive. The class of complexes is extensive.
Predicting the color of a compound can be extremely complicated. Some examples include: Cobalt chloride is pink or blue depending on the state of hydration (blue dry, pink with water) so it is used as a moisture indicator in silica gel. Zinc oxide is white, but at higher temperatures becomes yellow, returning to white as it cools.
According to the sigma bond rule, the number of sigma bonds in a molecule is equivalent to the number of atoms plus the number of rings minus one. N σ = N atoms + N rings − 1. This rule is a special-case application of the Euler characteristic of the graph which represents the molecule. A molecule with no rings can be represented as a tree ...
Structure of the polymeric [Ca(H 2 O) 6] 2+ center in crystalline calcium chloride hexahydrate. Three water ligands are terminal, three bridge. Three water ligands are terminal, three bridge. Two aspects of metal aquo complexes are illustrated: the high coordination number typical for Ca 2+ and the role of water as a bridging ligand .
Cobalt is primarily used in lithium-ion batteries, and in the manufacture of magnetic, wear-resistant and high-strength alloys. The compounds cobalt silicate and cobalt(II) aluminate (CoAl 2 O 4, cobalt blue) give a distinctive deep blue color to glass, ceramics, inks, paints and varnishes. Cobalt occurs naturally as only one stable isotope ...
For example, the cobalt(II) hexahydrate ion or the hexaaquacobalt(II) ion [Co(H 2 O) 6] 2+ is a hydrated-complex ion that consists of six water molecules attached to a metal ion Co. The oxidation state and the coordination number reflect the number of bonds formed between the metal ion and the ligands in the complex ion.
