The octahedral complex Co NH 3 5 SO 4 Cl exists in two isomeric forms X and Y . Isomer X reacts with AgNO 3 to give a white precipitate, but does not react with BaCl 2 . Isomer Y gives white precipitate with BaCl 2 but does not react with AgNO 3
Options
- Aionisation isomers
- Blinkage isomers
- Ccoordination isomers
- Dsolvate isomers
Correct answer
A. ionisation isomers
Step-by-step solution
To give precipitate with AgNO 3 , the isomer must be Co NH 3 5 SO 4 Cl and to give precipitate with BaCl 2 , it must be Co NH 3 5 . Cl SO 4 . They are ionisation isomers.
