Question

The compounds $\left[Cr\right(H_{2}O{)}_6]C{l}_3,[Cr\left(H_{2}O{)}_5\right]Cl\cdot H_{2}O$ and $\left[Cr\right(H_{2}O{)}_{4}C{l}_2]Cl\cdot 2H_{2}O$ exhibits:

• A. linkage isomerism.
• B. geometrical isomerism.
• C. ionization isomerism.
• D. hydrate isomerism.

Answer 1

The correct option is D hydrate isomerism.

In the given compounds, the number of water molecules present in the coordination sphere and in the ionization sphere is different.
Hence, they exhibit hydrate isomerism.
This is an example of solvate isomerism.
