The compound of formula Co(Br)(SO₄)·5NH₃ exists as ionisation isomers. Which statement is INCORRECT?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The two isomers are [Co(SO₄)(NH₃)₅]Br and [CoBr(NH₃)₅]SO₄. Only the second has free sulphate, so only it gives BaSO₄ with BaCl₂; B is incorrect. The first has free bromide, so statement C is correct, and both have Co(III) with six donor atoms.
