Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is false but the Reason is true. Co(en)2(NH3)Br]SO4 has higher electrical conductivity as compared to [Co(en)2(NH3)SO4]Br. Both compounds give two ions in the solution. But the charge on sulfate ion is twice the charge on bromide ion. Hence sulfate ion has higher electrical conductivity than bromide ion. Same is true for the complex cations.
