NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate ligand.

Solution

$\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{NO}_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2$ (linkage through $\mathrm{N}$ )

and

$\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{ONO}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right.$ (linkage through $\mathrm{O}$ )
