  1. A Linkage isomerism
  2. B Geometrical isomerism
  3. C Optical isomerism
  4. D Hydrate isomerism
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Linkage isomerism

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \left[\left(\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\right]\right. \) 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.
