Which of the following can participate in linkage isomerism?

Options

ANO ₂
BH ₂ NCH ₂ CH ₂ NH ₂
CH ₂ O
D: NH ₃

Correct answer

A. NO ₂

Step-by-step solution

Linkage isomerism can be shown by compound containing ambidentate ligand. In NO ₂, NO ₂ can bind either by N or by O . e.g. [ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ ( NO ₂ ) ] Cl ₂ (yellow) and [ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ ONO _ Y Cl ₂ . (blue)
