To find all the isomers of the coordination compound \([Co(NH_3)_5(SCN)]Cl\), we need to consider both geometrical and linkage isomerism. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Sphere The coordination compound consists of a cobalt ion surrounded by five ammonia ligands and one thiocyanate ligand (SCN). The chloride ion (Cl) is outside the coordination sphere. ### Step 2: Determine the Type of Isomerism 1. **Linkage Isomerism**: The thiocyanate ligand (SCN) can coordinate through either the sulfur (S) or the nitrogen (N) atom. This gives rise to two different linkage isomers: - **Thiocyanato-S (or simply thiocyanate)**: When SCN coordinates through sulfur. ...
