JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

An octahedral complex having molecular composition Co. \(5 \mathrm{NH}_3. \mathrm{Cl}. \mathrm{SO}_4\) has two isomers A and B. The solution of A gives a white precipitate with \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution and the solution of B gives white precipitate with \(\mathrm{BaCl}_2\) solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is which?

  1. A Co-ordinate isomerism
  2. B Linkage isomerism
  3. C Ionisation isomerism
  4. D Geometrical isomerism
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Ionisation isomerism

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) complex is \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)\right] \mathrm{Cl}\) (B) complex is \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4\) Both \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are Ionisation isomers.
