Question

An octahedral complex having molecular composition Co. $5 NH_{3} . Cl . SO_{4}$ 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,

Options:

Answer:

C

Solution:

(A) complex is $[Co (NH_{3})_{5} (SO_{4})] Cl$
(B) complex is $[Co (NH_{3})_{5} Cl] SO_{4}$
Both $(A)$ and $(B)$ are Ionisation isomers.
