How will you distinguish between the following isomer pairs ?
(a) (i) `[Cr(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)` and (ii) `[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Cl_(2)H_(2)O`
(b) (i) cis `[Pt (NH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)]` and (ii) trans `[Pt(NH_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)]`
(c ) The two enantiomers of `[CoCl_(2)(en)_(2)]^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) The water molecules in isomer (i) are not lost easily, being coordinated to the central atom whereas the water molecule in isomer (ii) is lost easily on heating.
(b) cis isomer is dextro-rotatory whereas the other is laevo-rotatory.
