Q.

An octahedral complex having molecular composition Co.5NH3.Cl.SO4 has two isomers A and B. The solution of A gives a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution and the solution of B gives a white precipitate with BaCl2 solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is:       [2025]

1 Co-ordinate isomerism  
2 Linkage isomerism  
3 Ionisation isomerism  
4 Geometrical isomerism  

Ans.

(3)

[Co(NH3)5(A)SO4]Cl+AgNO3[Co(NH3)5SO4]NO3+AgCl (white ppt) 

[Co(NH3)5(B)Cl]SO4+BaCl2[Co(NH3)5SO4]NO3+BaSO4 (white ppt) 

(A) and (B) are ionization isomers.
