NEET 2010 Chemistry question

The existence of two different coloured complexes with the composition of is due to :

(1)linkage isomerism
(2)geometrical isomerismCorrect
(3)coordination isomerism
(4)ionization isomerism

Answer: (2)

Solution

is an octahedral complex of the type . Such complexes exist as two geometrical (cis and trans) isomers: in the cis form the two ligands are adjacent (90 degrees apart) and in the trans form they are opposite each other (180 degrees apart). The
