Q. The example of coordination isomerism is
A) $\lbrack Co\ \left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{6}\rbrack\ \lbrack Cr(CN)_{6}\rbrack\ and$
$\lbrack Cr\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{6}\rbrack\ \lbrack Co(CN)_{6}\rbrack$
B) $\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{5}Br \right\rbrack{SO}_{4}\ and\ \lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{5}{SO}_{4}\rbrack Br$
C) $Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{5}{NO}_{3}\rbrack{SO}_{4}and\ \left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{5}{SO}_{4} \right\rbrack{NO}_{3}$
D) $\left\lbrack Pt\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}{Cl}_{2} \right\rbrack{Br}_{2}\ and\ \left\lbrack Pt\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}{Br}_{2} \right\rbrack{Cl}_{2}$
Explanation
(a)
Coordination isomerism is caused by interchange of ligands with the metal atoms.
