Identify the classification of isomers illustrated by [Co(NO₂)(NH₃)₅]²⁺ and [Co(ONO)(NH₃)₅]²⁺. A)linkage isomers B)ionization isomers C)geometric isomers D)mirror image isomers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two compounds have the same formula but differ in the way the ligands are attached to the central metal ion. This is an example of linkage isomers. Ionization isomers differ in their ionization state, geometric isomers differ in their spatial arrangement, and mirror image isomers are non-superimposable mirror images.
