Solution and Explanation
Name the type of isomerism exhibited and draw isomers:
(I) [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6]
Solution: This shows ionization isomerism.
Isomer: [Co(CN)6][Cr(NH3)6]
(II) [Co(en)3]3+
Solution: This shows optical isomerism due to chirality from en ligands.
Isomers: d- and l- forms (non-superimposable mirror images).
(III) [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]
Solution: This compound exhibits geometrical isomerism, as the arrangement of ligands around the metal ion can vary. The two possible isomers are cis- and trans- configurations.

The Crystal Field Theory (CFT) of coordination compounds is based on the effect of different crystal fields (provided by the ligands taken as point charges) on the degeneracy of d-orbital energies of the central metal atom/ion. The splitting of the d-orbitals provides different electronic arrangements in strong and weak crystal fields. In tetrahedral coordination entity formation, the d-orbital splitting is smaller as compared to the octahedral entity.
