JEE Main 2026 — 2 April, Evening Shift — Question 56

Which of the following complexes will show coordination isomerism?

(A) [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2]\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2}\right]\left[\mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}\right]

(B) [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6]\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]

(C) [Co(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]

(D) [Fe(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]

(E) [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6]\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    B, C and D Only

  2. Option B:

    B, D and E Only

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    A, C and D Only

  4. Option D:

    C, D and E Only

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

. Compound, [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(CN)2]\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2}\right]\left[\mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}\right] cannot show coordination isomerism. All other complexes (B, C , D and E)) will show co-ordination isomerism. Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
