Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Isomerism in coordination compounds can be structural (coordination, linkage, solvate) or stereoisomerism (optical, geometrical). Identify the hallmark of each type.

Step 1: Match the complexes
- (a) : Interchanges ligands between cationic and anionic entities  (iii) Coordination isomerism.
- (b) : Contains ambidentate  ligands (bind via N or O)  (i) Linkage isomerism.
- (c) : Involves water behaving as a ligand vs. solvent of crystallization  (ii) Solvate isomerism.
- (d) cis-: Lack
