Illustrate with an example ionisation isomerism in coordination compounds.

Answer: [Co(NH₃)₅Br]SO₄ and [Co(NH₃)₅(SO₄)]Br — they give different ions (SO₄²⁻ vs Br⁻) in solution.

Solution

Ionisation isomers have the same formula but exchange a ligand with the counter-ion, so they ionise differently:
