water and coord. compounds
what is the difference between a compound that's hydrated and one that has the prefix "aqua?" They both have water, and I'm really confused

Re: water and coord. compounds
aqua refers to water being within the coordination sphere and actually covalent bonded to the central atom. Hydrated refers to water molecules being attracted to the ion.
