Options
- ACoordinate
- BSolvate
- CIonization
- DLinkage
Correct answer
B. Solvate
Step-by-step solution
[ Cr ( H ₂ O )₆ ] Cl ₃ and [ Cr ( H ₂ O )₅ Cl ⁻ ] Cl _ 2: H ₂ O (I) In compound I, the solvent water is directly bonded to Cr . In compound II, H ₂ O appears as the free solvent molecule. I and II represent solvate isomers.
