Identify the type of isomerism exhibited by complex compounds.
$\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_3$ and $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}^2\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
Linkage isomerism
Ionization isomerism
Coordination isomerism
Solvate isomerism
Solution
When $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ exchanges position with ligand in coordination sphere it is called as solvate isomerism.
