( [ Fe ( NO ₂ )₃ Cl ₃ ] ) and ( [ Fe ( O - NO )_ Cl ₃ ] ) shows
Options
- ALinkage isomerism
- BGeometrical isomerism
- COptical isomerism
- DHydrate isomerism
Correct answer
A. Linkage isomerism
Step-by-step solution
( [ ( Fe ( NO ₂ )₃ Cl ₃ ] . ) and ( [ Fe ( O - NO )₂ Cl ₃ ] ) shows linkage isomerism because ( NO ₂ ) is an ambidentate ligand, it can link through both nitrogen and oxygen atom.
