What kind of isomerism exists between 
(violet) and 
(grayish-green)?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Solvate isomerism is shown when two compounds having same molecular formula
differ by whether the solvent molecule is directly bonded to metal ion or is present as free solvent molecules in the crystal lattice. When water is present as solvent and show this type of isomerism then it is known as hydrate isomerism. Coordination compound 
and 
are solvate isomers, because water is exchanged by chloride ion. This is why both of them show different colour on exposure to sunlight.
