Coordination Isomers Chemistry?

Question

Write the formulas for the coordination isomers of [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2. Express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma.Write the names for the coordination isomers of [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2.Spell out the full name of the compounds. For example, [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 would be entered as Pentaaquachlorochromium(III) chloride. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.In my defense, my professor DID not teach us on how to do this; I am attempting to do this graded homework by self-studying and it’s driving me over the cliff.For the first question, my attempt was Fe(H2O)6^2+,Cl2. I tried 4 other different answers, but they were not having the proper number of commas. From what I gather, I was only supposed to have a single comma.Needless to say, since I can’t do the first question, I could not do the second. I thank you guys in advance for even reading this. At the rate I’m going, I’m more likely to earn my brain cancer before graduating with a Bachelor’s.

You’d have to enter [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2 as hexaaquairon(II) chloride, according to the instructions, and then separate that from the other possible answers by commas. The other possibilities are those with different ligands, i.e. with the chloride(s) as part of the complex or complex ion instead of being counterion.

[Fe(H2O)5Cl]Cl⋅H2O, [Fe(H2O)4Cl2]⋅2H2O
