Arrange the following complexes in the increasing order of conductivity of their solution

[Co(NH3)3Cl3],[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl,[Co(NH3)6]Cl3,[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Solution

Ions are molecules present outside the coordination sphere are ionisable. A complex which gives more ions on dissolution is more conducting.

[Co(NH3)3Cl3]<[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl<[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2<[Co(NH3)6]Cl3(1 ion)(2 ions)(3 ions)(4 ions)

Here, the number of ions increases and conductivity increases.
