To solve for the frequency response \( H(\Omega) \) and the impulse response \( h(n) \) of the given difference equation using Fourier transforms, we will proceed as follows:

### Given Difference Equation
\[
y(n) - \frac{5}{6} y(n-1) + \frac{1}{6} y(n-2) = x(n)
\]

### Step 1: Find the Frequency Response \( H(\Omega) \)

1. **Apply the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT)** to the equation.

   Let the DTFT of \( y(n) \) be \( Y(\Omega) \) and the DTFT of \( x(n) \) be \( X(\Omega) \). Then, applying the DTFT to both sides of the difference equation:
   \[
   Y(\Omega) - \frac{5}{6} Y(\Omega) e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} Y(\Omega) e^{-j2\Omega} = X(\Omega)
   \]

2. **Factor out \( Y(\Omega) \):**
   \[
   Y(\Omega) \left[ 1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega} \right] = X(\Omega)
   \]

3. **Express the Frequency Response \( H(\Omega) \):**
   \[
   H(\Omega) = \frac{Y(\Omega)}{X(\Omega)} = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}
   \]

Thus, the frequency response \( H(\Omega) \) is:
\[
H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}
\]

### Step 2: Find the Impulse Response \( h(n) \)

The impulse response \( h(n) \) is the inverse DTFT of \( H(\Omega) \).

1. **Express \( H(\Omega) \) in a simpler form:**

   To simplify \( H(\Omega) \), consider the characteristic equation:
   \[
   1 - \frac{5}{6} z^{-1} + \frac{1}{6} z^{-2} = 0
   \]
   This is a quadratic equation in \( z^{-1} \):
   \[
   z^2 - \frac{5}{6} z + \frac{1}{6} = 0
   \]
   Solve for the roots \( z_1 \) and \( z_2 \).

2. **Factor \( H(\Omega) \):**
   \[
   H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{(1 - r_1 e^{-j\Omega})(1 - r_2 e^{-j\Omega})}
   \]
   where \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) are the roots.

3. **Inverse DTFT to find \( h(n) \):**

   The impulse response \( h(n) \) will be the inverse DTFT of \( H(\Omega) \). If \( H(\Omega) \) can be decomposed into simpler fractions, the impulse response is typically a sum of exponentials:
   \[
   h(n) = A_1 r_1^n u(n) + A_2 r_2^n u(n)
   \]
   where \( u(n) \) is the unit step function, and \( A_1 \), \( A_2 \) are constants determined by partial fraction expansion.

### Final Results:
- **(i) The Frequency Response \( H(\Omega) \)**:
  \[
  H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}
  \]

- **(ii) The Impulse Response \( h(n) \)**:
  The exact form depends on the roots \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \), and would be a sum of exponential sequences based on these roots.
