i)
The compound Co(NH3)4BrSO4\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{BrSO}_4 exhibits ionization isomerism. This occurs when the counter ion in a complex salt is itself a potential ligand and can displace a ligand that is already in the coordination sphere.

ii)
The structural formulae of the isomers are:

  1. [Co(NH3)4Br]SO4[\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{Br}]\text{SO}_4 (Bromide is a ligand, sulfate is the counterion)
  2. [Co(NH3)4SO4]Br[\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{SO}_4]\text{Br} (Sulfate is a ligand, bromide is the counterion)

e)
The complex [Cu(H2NCH2CH2NH2)2]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{H}_2\text{NCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2)_2]^{2+} has a coordination number of 4 (each ethylenediamine ligand, H2NCH2CH2NH2\text{H}_2\text{NCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2, is bidentate). Copper(II) complexes with a coordination number of 4 typically adopt a square planar geometry.
