Question

Type of isomerism shown by [Cr(NH₃)₅NO₂]Cl₂ is ______.

विकल्प

• linkage isomerism

• hydrate isomerism

• ligand isomerism

• none of these

Answer 1

Type of isomerism shown by [Cr(NH₃)₅NO₂]Cl₂ is linkage isomerism.

Explanation:

In [Cr(NH₃)₅NO₂]Cl₂, the nitrite (NO₂) ligand can bind to the central metal through either the nitrogen (nitrito-N) or oxygen (nitrito-O), forming two different isomers. This is a case of linkage isomerism.
