MCQ
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,
  • A
    Co-ordinate isomerism
  • B
    Linkage isomerism
  • C
    Ionisation isomerism
  • D
    Geometrical isomerism

Answer

C. Ionisation isomerism
(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 (A) and (B) are Ionisation isomers.
