All of the above

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Solvate isomerism (also known as hydrate isomerism) occurs when the solvent molecule (usually water) acts as a ligand or exists as a free molecule of crystallization.For the complex $CrCl_3 \cdot 6H_2O$,the following isomers exist:$1$. $[Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3$ (violet)$2$. $[Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O$ (blue-green)$3$. $[Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]Cl \cdot 2H_2O$ (dark green)Since all these represent different arrangements of water molecules inside and outside the coordination sphere,all of the above are correct examples.
