Answer 2

Proper Question: The pair [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Br₂ and [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl₂ will show:

(a) Linkage isomerism                                       (b) ionization isomerism

(c) Hydrate isomerism                                       (d) Coordinate isomerism

Answer: The pair [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Br₂ and [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl₂ will show ionization isomerism. Hence the correct option is (b) ionization isomerism.

Explanation:

• Ionization isomerism is a type of structural isomerism that occurs in coordination compounds. It arises due to the exchange of counter ions in a coordination compound. In simple terms, ionization isomerism occurs when two coordination compounds have the same chemical formula but different counter ions. Due to the different counter ions present in the compound, the ions produced in the aqueous solution would also differ.
• The pair [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Br₂ and [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl₂ have different counter ions. The counter ion in [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Br₂ is Br⁻ while that in [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl₂ is Cl⁻. Hence the pair [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Br₂ and [Co(NH₃)₄Br₂]Cl₂ will show ionization isomerism.

Hence the correct option would be (b) ionization isomerism.
