What kind of isomerism exists between

[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3\lbrack Cr(H_{2}O)_{6}\rbrack Cl_{3} (violet) and

[Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2H2O\lbrack Cr(H_{2}O)_{5}Cl\rbrack Cl_{2}H_{2}O (grayish - green)?

A

Linkage isomerism

B

Solvate isomerism

C

Ionisation isomerism

D

Coordination isomerism

Answer

Solvate isomerism

Explanation

Solution

It is a an example of solvate isomerism as different number of water molecules are present inside and outside the coordination sphere.
