Match List I with List II. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
- A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
- A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Answer
(1) A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Solution
A. NO2- is ambidentate (bonds through N or O: nitro / nitrito) → linkage isomerism (II).
B. SO42- and Br- can exchange places: [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 → ionization isomerism (III).
C. Ligands can be exchanged between the complex cation and anion: [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] → coordination isomerism (IV).
D. Water inside or outside the coordination sphere: [Co(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 H2O → solvate (hydrate) isomerism (I).
A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
