[M(H2O)6]2+ will dissociate in water to form [M(H2O)5(OH)]+

-[M(H2O)6]2+(aq) + H2O(l) > [M(H2O)5(OH)]+(aq) + H3O+(aq)


-[M(H2O)6]2+(aq) > [M(H2O)5(OH)]+(aq) + H+

What happens when [M(H2O)6]2+ is hydrolysed?

-[M(H2O)5(OH)]2+(aq) + H2O(l) > [M(H2O)4(OH)2]+(aq) + H3O+(aq).


When this continues, you are left with the insole uncharged metal
hydroxide.

-[M(H2O)6]2+(aq) + H2O(l) --> [M(H2O)5(OH)]+(aq) + H3O+(aq)

-[M(H2O)5(OH)]+(aq) + H2O(l) --> [M(H2O)4(OH)2](aq)(neutro)  + H3O+(aq).
