Passage / Comprehension

Complex compounds that have the same molecular formula but have different structural/space arrangements of ligands around central metal atom/ion are called isomers, these are of two types namely structural and stereoisomers.

Types of isomerism exhibited by is/are :

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

For , ionisation isomerism is possible because (counter ion) can exchange with the coordinated ion. Linkage isomerism occurs due to the ambidentate nature of , which can coordinate through N (nitro) or O (nitrito). Geometrical isomerism is possible because the octahedral complex has two ligands that can occupy cis or trans positions. Coordination isomerism is not possible as there is only one complex ion.

Therefore, the correct answer is A, B and C.
