Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The compounds with same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the atom are said to be isomers.
Linkage isomers:
Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands that are capable of coordinating in more than one way.
Example:
(a)
Answer to Problem 9C.11E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In the isomer
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Ionization Isomers:
Ionization isomers occur when a ligand is bound to the metal center exchanges places with an anion or neutral molecule that was previously outside the coordination complex.
(b)
Answer to Problem 9C.11E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In this pair of isomers the hydroxide ion which is bound with central atom is exchanged its place with the sulphate ligand which present outside the nucleus of the complex. Thus these isomers are ionization isomers.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Answer to Problem 9C.11E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In the isomer
(d)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (b).
(d)
Answer to Problem 9C.11E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In this pair of isomers the chloride ion which is bound with central atom is exchanged its place with the bromide ligand which present outside the nucleus of the complex. Thus these isomers are ionization isomers.

- Mention the types of structural isomerism present in metal complexes and indicate to which of them the following compound pair belongs: [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] and [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6].arrow_forwardIn [Cr(NH₃)₆]Cl₃, the [Cr(NH₃)₆]³⁺ ion absorbs visiblelight in the blue-violet range, and the compound is yellow-orange. In [Cr(H₂O)₆]Br₃, the [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ ion absorbs visiblelight in the red range, and the compound is blue-gray. Explain these differences in light absorbed and color of the compoundarrow_forwardWhat is the oxidation state of the metal centre in the [Cr(CO3)3(C6H6)] complex?arrow_forward
- When cobalt (II) chloride is treated, under certain conditions, with the bidentate ligand, NH2CH2CH2NH2, (which can be represented by the symbol “en”), the compound [CoC12(en)2] Cl is formed. i) What is the oxidation state of cobalt in the compound formed? ii) When this compound is treated with aqueous silver nitrate, only one mole of silver chloride is produced per mole of compound. Explain this observation.arrow_forwardTwo different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.arrow_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forward
