Why the ionic compounds do not exhibit isomerism?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electrostateic force in an ionic compound is distributed uniformly in all directions. Thus, each compound holds a definite number of oppositely charged ions. Hence there are not discrete molecules in ionic compounds. Since ionic bonds are non-directiona, ionic compounds do not exhibit isomerism.
