The type of isomerism present in nitropentamine chromium (III) chloride is

Options

  1. Aoptical
  2. Bcoordination
  3. Clinkage
  4. Dpolymerisation

Correct answer

C. linkage

Step-by-step solution

The nitro group can attach to metal through nitrogen as (- NO ₂ ) or through oxygen as nitro (-ONO), hence nitropentamine chromium (III) chloride shows linkage isomerism.
