[Co(NH<sub>3</sub>)5Cl]SO4 and [Co(NH<sub>3</sub>)5SO4]Cl are examples of:

Answer: Ionisation isomers.

  • A Ionisation isomers
  • B Geometrical isomers
  • C Optical isomers
  • D Linkage isomers

Correct answer: A. Ionisation isomers

Explanation: These two compounds have the same formula but the Cl and SO4 have exchanged positions inside/outside the coordination sphere.

Octahedralcoordination no. 6e.g. [Co(NH3)6]3+Tetrahedralcoordination no. 4e.g. [Ni(CO)4]Square Planarcoordination no. 4e.g. [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]

The three common coordination geometries: octahedral (6 ligands), tetrahedral (4 ligands), and square planar (4 ligands in one plane).

Concept context

Study of compounds where a central metal atom is bonded to surrounding ligands. Covers nomenclature, types of isomerism, bonding theories (VBT, CFT), and applications in medicine, photography, and industry.
