Consider the following statements and select the correct option using the codes given. `(i) [Cr(NH_(3))_(6)][Cr(NH)_(6)]` and `[Cr(NH_(3))_(4)(CN)_(2)][Cr(NH_(3))_(2)(CN)_(4)]` are coordination isomers. `(ii)[Cr(py)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)Cl_(2)]Cl` and `[Cr(py)_(2)(H_(2)O)Cl_(3)]H_(2)O` are ligand isomers. `(iii)[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)Br_(2)]Cl_(2)` and `[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)Cl]Br_(2)` are linkage isomers. `(iv)[NiCl_(2)(PPh_(3))_(2)(` tetrahedral`)` exhibitsgeometrical isomerism.A. `(i)` onlyB. `(i)` and `(ii)` onlyC. `(ii)` and `(iii)` onlyD. `(iii)` and `(iv)` only. |

Answer» Correct Answer - 1 `(i)` Coordination compounds made up of cationic and anionic coordination entities show coordination isomerism due to the interchange of ligands between the cation and anion entities. `(ii)` Hydrate isomers differ by whether or not a water molecule is directly bonded to the metal ion or merely present as free water molecules in the crystal lattice. `(iii)` Ionisation isomerism occurs when the counter ion in a coordination compounds is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand which can then become the counter ion. `(iv)` `[NiCl_92)9PPh_(3))_(2)]` has tetrahedral geometry on account of the bulkier nature of triphenyl phosphine. In tetrahedral geometry all position are adjacent to each other and therefore , does not show geometrical isomerism. |
