Which type of isomerism is exhibited by coordination compounds that interchange ligands between the coordination sphere and the ionization sphere?

A. Linkage isomerism
B. Hydrate isomerism
C. Ionization isomerism✓ Correct Answer
D. Coordination isomerism

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ionization isomerism occurs when a coordination compound yields different ions in solution due to the interchange of anions between the coordination sphere and the counter ion zone. Hydrate isomerism involves water molecules acting either as ligands or free crystallization molecules inside the crystal lattice.
