Consider and and select correct statement(s) :-
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, B
Solution:
Complex 1: [Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)Cl]Br₂
Coordination sphere: Co³⁺ bonded to 4 NH₃ + H₂O + Cl⁻
Counter ions: 2 Br⁻ outside
Complex 2: [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl·H₂O
Coordination sphere: Co³⁺ bonded to 4 NH₃ + 2 Br⁻
Counter ion: Cl⁻ outside, H₂O as crystal water
Both are structural (ionization) isomers → can be distinguished using AgNO₃ (free halides react differently)
Both are octahedral → each can show cis/trans stereoisomerism, 2 stereoisomers each
Magnetic nature similar (Co³⁺ low-spin d⁶) → (C) incorrect
Osmotic pressure depends on number of particles in solution → may differ → (D) incorrect
