Range	Table - link
Organism	Generic
Reference	Israelachvili Jacob, Intermolecular & surface forces, 2nd edition,1991 Academic press, p.55 table 4.2
Comments	"Hydration number-Number of water molecules forming a stoichiometric complex with the ion (e.g. [Be(H2O)4]2+). The hydration number gives the number of water molecules in the primary shell, though the total number of water molecules affected can be much larger and depends on the method of measurement."
