Question

The complex ions [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]2+ and [Co(NH3)5 (ONO)]2+ are called
(a) Ionization isomers
(b) Linkage isomers
(c) Co-ordination isomers
(d) Geometrical isomers

Answer 1

Answer:

Linkage isomers

Explanation:

The isomerism which arises due to ambidentate ligend is called linkage isomers.Here, a ligend binds through two different sites.

For example :- in the given question, NO2 in first case binds through N ( called nitrito- N) while in the second case bind through O (called nitrito-O).
