The oxidation state and covalency you just answered.

 

Dear Student

 

Earlier your question was---

Please explain - are the oxidation state and covalency of Al in [AlCl(H2O)]2+ same?

 

Here you are asking for a complex AlCl(H2O)5]²⁺

For this complex the covalency of Al is 6, as it is bonded with one chlorine and five H₂O ligands.

In this case the given answer is correct.

 

We hope that clarifies your query.
