Detailed Solution

Statement I: True. In CuSO4·5H2O, copper (Cu2+) forms bonds with oxygen atoms of water molecules and sulfate ions. Therefore, Cu–O bonds are present.

Statement II: False. In CuSO4·5H2O, the ligands coordinating with Cu2+ are water molecules (H2O) and oxygen from the sulfate ion (SO42-). There is no sulfur directly coordinating with Cu2+; hence, the ligands are oxygen-based, not sulfur-based.

Thus, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
