Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of different structures of complex [Co (H2O) (NH3)5]3+ are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The word isomerism is used to represent the compounds and ions which are formed by the same kind of atoms and a same number of atoms. But these compounds, ions or radicals are different from each other in terms of structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of different structure of complex [Co (H2O) 2(NH3)4]3+ are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The word isomerism is used to represent the compounds and ions which are formed by the same kind of atoms and a same number of atoms. But these compounds, ions or radicals are different from each other in terms of structure.
(c)
Interpretation:
The different structure of the complex [Co (H2O) 3(NH3)3]3+ is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The word isomerism is used to represent the compounds and ions which are formed by the same kind of atoms and a same number of atoms. But these compounds, ions or radicals are different from each other in terms of structure.
(d)
Interpretation:
The different structure of the complex [Co(H2O)4(NH3)2]3+ is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The word isomerism is used to represent the compounds and ions which are formed by the same kind of atoms and a same number of atoms. But these compounds, ions or radicals are different from each other in terms of structure.
