Q11 / 180 · KCET 2018 · Chemistry

\( \left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right] \) and \( \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{NO})_{} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right] \) shows

  • Correct answer
    A
    Linkage isomerism
  • B
    Geometrical isomerism
  • C
    Optical isomerism
  • D
    Hydrate isomerism

Solution

\( \left[\left(\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]\right. \) and \( \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{NO})_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right] \) shows linkage isomerism because \( \mathrm{NO}_{2} \) is an ambidentate ligand, it can
link through both nitrogen and oxygen atom.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
