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.
Coordination Isomers:
Coordination isomerism arises in compounds containing complex anionic and cationic parts. Hence, there are two complex compounds bound together, one with a negative charge and the other with a positive charge. In coordination isomers, the anion and cation complexes of a coordination compound exchange one or more ligands.
(a)
Answer to Problem 9C.12E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In this pair of isomers the chloride ligand of the anionic part exchanges its place between another parts of the coordination sphere thus it is a coordination isomer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(b)
Answer to Problem 9C.12E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In this pair of isomers the chloride ligand exchanges their place between another parts of the coordination sphere thus it is a coordination isomer.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Concept Introduction:
Linkage isomers:
Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands that are capable of coordinating in more than one way.
Example:
(c)
Answer to Problem 9C.12E
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:
Hydrate Isomers:
Hydrate isomers results from replacement of a coordinated group by a solvent molecule in this case it is a water molecule.
(d)
Answer to Problem 9C.12E
The type of isomer represented by the pair
Explanation of Solution
In this pair of isomers the aqua ion which is bound with central atom is exchanged its place with the bromide ligand which present outside the nucleus. Thus these isomers are hydrate isomers.
