[Co(NH3)5NO2]Cl2 and [Co(NH3)5ONO]Cl2 are related to each other as :
A
Geometrical isomers
B
Linkage isomers
C
Coordination isomers
D
Ionisation isomers
Answer
Linkage isomers
Explanation
Solution
NO2– is an ambidentate ligand and thus it can linkage to metal ion through O as well as through N. Hence show linkage isomerism.
