Coordination Compounds

The structure of complex or is as 
In crystalline form, four water molecules are coordinated with atom forming a square-planar geometry and the two atoms of sulphate ion complete the distorted octahedron. The fifth water molecule is attached through -bonding between one of the coordinated molecule and one of the sulphate ion 

 

The geometry of copper (II) in copper sulphate pentahydrate is deformed octahedral. 

The copper is connected to two oxygen atoms from two sulphate ions and four water molecules in a square-planar geometry, as can be seen in the structure. Another way to put it is that one H₂O molecule is H-Bonded to sulphate ions in this situation.

Therefore, four water molecules are in coordination with the Cu²⁺ ion, while the fifth water molecule is hydrogen-bonded to the oxygen of the sulphate ion. Last but not least, the fifth water molecule is not coordinated, has a hydrogen bond, and is firmly entrenched in a crystal.

Thus, we may say that just four water molecules are coordinated, and the lone hydrogen bond is between the fifth and sixth molecules.

The correct answer is B:3
The oxidation state of H2O is 0, and that of Cl is -1. The overall charge on the compound is +2.
