The complexes and \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] 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 and \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] 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.
