Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Coordination isomerism
Coordination Isomerism occurs in salts where both the cation and anion are coordination complexes.
- It arises from the interchange of ligands between the cationic and anionic metal centers.
- In the first salt, NH3 is with Co and CN is with Cr.
- In its isomer, NH3 is with Cr and CN is with Co.
- They share the same empirical formula but have different identities of the complex ions.
