Answer:C
What type of isomerism is shown by the pair [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 and [Cr(H2O)5Cl] Cl2. H2O ?
A. Ionisation isomerism B. Coordination isomerism C. Solvate isomerism D. Linkage isomerism
Explanation: Solvate / Hydrate isomerism Solvate or hvdrate isomers have the same ^composition but differ with respect to the number of solvent ligand molecules as well as the counter ion in the crystal lattice.
