Homework Statement



I need to draw a structure of CoCl2 6H20.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


[Cl]-[Co]2+[Cl]-

I'm not sure how to fit the hydrates in.

If you could, lead me to a site that explains this.
Thanks. I apologize for not showing a good attempt
 
Water surrounds metal cation. Honestly, question is vague and ambiguous. Cobalt chloride hexahydrate forms a crystal, and all ions/molecules are arranged in the 3d; no idea how detailed and how precise your drawing has to be.

A lewis structure would be precise enough for my class.
