STANDARD Chemistry Isomerism in Coordination Compounds MCQ Question
Few isomers are given below. Mark the correct statement regarding them. (i) [Cr(H₂O)₆]Cl₃ (ii) [Cr(H₂O)₅Cl]Cl₂·3H₂O (iii) [Cr(H₂O)₄Cl₂]Cl·H₂O
(i), (ii) and (iii) are hydrate isomers.
(i), (ii) and (iii) are coordination isomers.
(i), (ii) and (iii) are ionisation isomers.
(i) and (ii) are stereoisomers.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Hydrate isomers differ in the number of water molecules directly bonded to the metal ion. In this case, the isomers differ in the number of water molecules inside and outside the coordination sphere.
