The correct Answer is:
To determine the total possible linkage isomers of the coordination compound \( K_4[Fe(CN)_5(NO_2)] \), we will analyze the ligands present in the complex and how they can bond to the central metal atom, iron (Fe). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ligands**: The complex contains two types of ligands: - **Cyanide (CN)**: This is a monodentate ligand, meaning it can attach to the metal at only one site. - **Nitrito (NO2)**: This is an ambidentate ligand, which means it can attach through either the nitrogen (N) or the oxygen (O) atom. 2. **Count the Ligands**: - There are 5 cyanide (CN) ligands. - There is 1 nitrito (NO2) ligand. 3. **Determine Linkage Isomers**: - The cyanide ligands can only bond in one way (through carbon). - The nitrito ligand can bond in two different ways (through nitrogen or oxygen). 4. **Calculate the Total Linkage Isomers**: - The cyanide ligands do not contribute to linkage isomers since they are monodentate. - The nitrito ligand contributes 2 linkage isomers (one for each donor atom). - Therefore, the total number of linkage isomers is determined by the number of ways the nitrito ligand can bond. 5. **Final Count**: - Since there are 2 ways for the nitrito ligand to bond, and the cyanide ligands do not change the bonding mode, the total number of linkage isomers for \( K_4[Fe(CN)_5(NO_2)] \) is **2**. ### Conclusion: The total possible linkage isomers of \( K_4[Fe(CN)_5(NO_2)] \) is **2**. ---
