`[Co(HN_(3))_(6)][Cr(CN)_(6)]` and `[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)][Co(CN)_(6)]` are .A. Coordination position isomerismB. Polymerization isomerismC. Coordination isomerismD. Ionization isomerism |
Answer» Correct Answer - C When both the positive and negative ions of a corrdination compound are complex ions, coordination isomerism is possible and is caused by the interchange of ligands between the anion and cation: `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)][Cr(CN)_(6)]` `[Co(NH_(3))_(5)CN][Cr(NH_(3))CN)_(5)]` `[Co(NH_(3))_(4)(Cr)_(2)][Cr(NH_(3))_(2)(CN)_(4)]` `[Co(NH_(3))_(3)(CN)_(3) [Cr(NH_(3))_(3)(CN)_(3)]` is not possible as both units are neutral species `[Cr(NH_(3))_(4)(CN)_(2)][Co(NH_(3))_(2)(CN)_(4)]` `[Cr(NH_(3))_(5)CN][Co(NH_(3))(CN)_(5)]` `[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)][Co(CN)_(6)]` |
