An octahedral complex with molecular composition M.5NH3.Cl.SO4 has two isomers, A and B. The solution of A gives a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution and the solution of  B  gives a white precipitate with BaCl2 solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is :

Option: 1

Linkage isomerism


Option: 2

Ionisation isomerism


Option: 3

Coordinate isomerism


Option: 4

Geometrical isomerism

Ionisation Isomerism arises when a counter ion is exchanged with a ligand inside the co-ordination sphere.

For example:  \mathrm{[M(NH_3)_5Cl]SO_4} and \mathrm{[M(NH_3)_5(SO_4)]Cl}   are ionisation isomers

The reactions are given as:

\mathrm{\left [ M ( NH_{3})_5Cl \right ]SO_{4}+BaCl_{2}\rightarrow \underset{(White)}{BaSO_{4}}\downarrow}

\mathrm{\left [ M\left ( NH_{3} \right )_5(SO_{4}) \right ]Cl +AgNO_{3}\rightarrow \underset{(White)}{AgCl}\downarrow}

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
