Consider $[Co (NH_{3})_{4} (H_{2} O) Cl] Br_{2}$ and $[Co (NH_{3})_{4} Br_{2}] Cl . H_{2} O$ and select correct statement(s) :-

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:

A, B

Solution:

[Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)Cl]Br₂ and [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl·H₂O are structural (hydrate/ionisation) isomers because H₂O and halide ions interchange between coordination sphere and outer sphere.
They can be distinguished by AgNO₃ test due to different free halide ions in solution.
Both are octahedral complexes, so cis–trans stereoisomerism is possible.
Correct statements: A, B.
