An octahedral complex having molecular composition 
has two isomers A and B. The solution of A gives a white precipitate with 
solution and the solution of B gives white precipitate with 
solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is,
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
In this octahedral complex with the molecular composition 
, two isomers, A and B, are present.
Isomer A is represented as 
. When this isomer is dissolved in solution, it reacts with 
, forming a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl).
Isomer B is written as 
. In solution, it reacts with 
, forming a white precipitate of barium sulfate 
.
These two isomers demonstrate ionization isomerism. This type of isomerism occurs when the exchange of ions inside and outside the coordination sphere of a complex leads to the formation of isomers with different chemical behaviors in solution.
