Question
Select the correct code about complex [Cr(NO2)(NH3)5][ZnCl4] :<br>(I) IUPAC name of compound is pentaamminenitrito-N-chromium (III) tetrachlorozincate(II)<br>(II) It shows geometrical isomerism<br>(III) It shows linkage isomerism<br>(IV) It shows coordination isomerism
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
(I) IUPAC name is Pentaamminenitrito-N-chromium(III) tetrachlorozincate (II). (II) It does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. (III) It shows linkage isomerism due to presence of ambidentate ligand NO2^-. (IV) Its coordination isomers are : [CrCl(NH3)5][ZnCl3(NO2)], [CrCl2(NH3)4][ZnCl2(NO2)(NH3)], [Zn(NO2)(NH3)3][CrCl4(NH3)2].
