A metal complex having composition [Cr(N...

A metal complex having composition `[Cr(NH_(3))_(4)Br_(2)I]` was isolated in two forms (X) and (Y). Form (X) reacts with `AgNO_(3)` to give a pale yellow precipitate which is partially soluble in excess of `NH_(4)OH` whereas (Y) gives a greenish yellow precipitate which is insoluble in `NH_(4)OH`.
what is formula of X and Y?

A

linkage isomerism

B

Coordination isomerism

C

Ionization isomerism

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

X has one `Br^(-)` ion outside the co-ordination sphere. Y has `I^(-)` outside the co-ordination sphere. Note AgBr is partially soluble in ammonia whereas AgI is insoluble.
