$$ \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br} \text { and }\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4 $$ are a pair of isomers.
  1. ionisation
  2. ligand
  3. coordination
  4. hydrate

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} & {\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right] \mathrm{Br} \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{SO}_4\right]^{+}+\mathrm{Br}^{-}} \\ & {\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightleftharpoons\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right]^{2+}+\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}} \end{aligned} $ the molecular formula of both of the above compounds is same but on ionisation they give different ions in solution, so they are called ionisation isomers
