How many among the following can exhibit linkage isomerism? i . [ CoCl 2 ( en ) 2 ] Cl i i . ( NH 4 ) 2 [ Pt ( SCN ) 6 ] i i i . [ Cr ( H 2 O ) 6 ] Cl 3 i v . K 3 [ Al ( C 2 O 4 ) 3 ] v . [ Co ( NH 3 ) 5 NO 2 ] SO 4 v i . [ Ag ( NH 3 ) 2 ] Cl v i i . K 2 [ PdCl 4 ]

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate ligand. Among the given coordination compounds, i i and ( v ) can exhibit linkage isomerism.

$i$ .	$[{CoCl}_{2} {(en)}_{2}] Cl$
$i i .$	${({NH}_{4})}_{2} [Pt {(SCN)}_{6}]$
$i i i .$	$[Cr {(H_{2} O)}_{6}] {Cl}_{3}$
$i v .$	$K_{3} [Al {(C_{2} O_{4})}_{3}]$
$v .$	$[Co {({NH}_{3})}_{5} {NO}_{2}] {SO}_{4}$
$v i$ .	$[Ag {({NH}_{3})}_{2}] Cl$
$v i i .$	$K_{2} [{PdCl}_{4}]$
