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

An octahedral complex with molecular composition \(M.5\, NH_3.Cl.SO_4\) has two isomers, \(A\) and \(B\). The solution of \(A\) gives a white precipitate with \(AgNO_3\) solution and the solution of \(B\) gives white precipitate with \(BaCl_2\) solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is

  1. A  Linkage isomerism
  2. B Ionisation isomerism
  3. C Coodinate isomerism
  4. D Geomerical isomerism
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Ionisation isomerism

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The two possible isomers for the given octahedral complex are \([M(NH_3)_5SO_4]Cl\) and \((M(NH_3)_5Cl]SO_4\). They respectively give chloride ion (indicated by precipitation with \(BaCl_2\) ) and \(SO_4\) ion (indicated by precipitation with \(AgNO_3\)). Hence the type of…
