The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the coordination compounds `[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Br2` and `[Co(NH3)4Br2]Cl2`, we need to analyze the structural differences between these two complexes and determine what type of isomerism they exhibit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordination Compounds**: - The first compound is `[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Br2`. - The second compound is `[Co(NH3)4Br2]Cl2`. 2. **Count the Ligands and Ions**: - In both complexes, we have: - 1 Cobalt (Co) ion. - 4 Ammonia (NH3) ligands. - 2 Chloride (Cl) ligands in the first complex and 2 Bromide (Br) ligands in the second complex. - Additionally, each complex has 2 counter ions (Br or Cl). 3. **Analyze the Composition**: - The first complex `[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Br2` has: - 4 NH3, 2 Cl as ligands, and 2 Br as counter ions. - The second complex `[Co(NH3)4Br2]Cl2` has: - 4 NH3, 2 Br as ligands, and 2 Cl as counter ions. 4. **Determine the Type of Isomerism**: - The two complexes have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the ligands and counter ions. - The difference lies in which ions are associated with the cobalt complex and which are free in the solution. - This type of isomerism, where the same coordination compound can have different arrangements of ligands and counter ions, is known as **ionization isomerism**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the pair `[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Br2` and `[Co(NH3)4Br2]Cl2` will show **ionization isomerism**. ### Final Answer: The pair `[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Br2` and `[Co(NH3)4Br2]Cl2` will show **ionization isomers**. ---
