Question

[CoCl2(en)2]Br will show :

Options

A.coordinate position isomerism
B.ionization isomerism
C.geometrical isomerism
D.optical isomerism.

Solution

Exchange of Cl- and Br- leads to ionisation isomerism. It show cis-trans isomerism and its cis-isomer shows optical isomerism due to the absence of one of the symmetry element(s).
