(A)Geometrical and ionisationCorrect
(B)Geometrical and optical
(C)Optical and ionisation
(D)Geometrical only

Answer: (A)

Solution

As [Co(NH_3)_4Br_2]Cl, the two ligands can be arranged cis or trans (geometrical isomerism), and the formula Co(NH_3)_4Br_2Cl could equally be written as [Co(NH_3)_4BrCl]Br (exchanging
