Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Show Hint

Identify which isomerism each complex shows: both ions complex (co-ordination), ambidentate NO2 (linkage), water inside/outside the sphere (solvate), cis chelate (optical).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

(a) [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] has both cation and anion as complexes, so ligands can be interchanged between the metals: co-ordination isomerism (iii).
(b) [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3] contains the ambidentate NO2- ligand (binds through N or O): linkage isomerism (i).
(c) [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 can exchange water inside and outside the coordination sphere, e.g. [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2·H2O: solvate (hydrate) isomerism (ii).
(d) cis-[CrCl2(ox)2]3- has no plane of symmetry and exists as non-superimposable mirror images: optical isomerism (iv).
So (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv).
Answer: (2) (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv)
