The complexes [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] [ Cr ( CN )₆ ] and [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₆ ] [ Co ( CN )₆ ] are the examples of which type of isomerism?
Options
- AIonisation isomerism
- BCo-ordination isomerism
- CGeometrical isomerism
- DLinkage isomerism
Correct answer
B. Co-ordination isomerism
Step-by-step solution
The complexes [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] [ Cr ( CN )₆ ] and [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₆ ] [ Co ( CN )₆ ] are the examples of co-ordination isomerisms. This isomerism occurs only in those complexes in which both cation and anion are complex. It occurs due to exchange of ligands between cation and anion.
